“…References [11][12][13][14] are some recent and readily available articles that have accomplished objectives that are similar to that of this present treatise, making use of CAD tools like Visual Basic Artificial Neural Networks, finite element etc. However, none of them actually went on to derive relevant customizable functions that are executable by MATLAB nonlinear solvers.…”

In the three-phase squirrel cage induction motor (SCIM), like other rotating electromechanical machines, the active length of the stator windings lies in the slots. The proper dimensioning of the slots is therefore critical to the design of both the windings and the stator core, so as to attain a high performing machine. The preliminary stage of the SCIM design, if well done, facilitates the refinement and optimization stages; serving as a good take-off point for that final state of the art design. The aim of this article isn’t to come up with a novel optimization method for the SCIM, but to provide another way of obtaining an initial stator slot design template, from where proper design refinement/optimization techniques could obtain very good starting values and be facilitated. Therefore, an attempt is being made here to derive relevant design functions that could be fed into the algorithms of various non-linear solvers such as the Genetic Algorithm (GA), to output the main stator slot dimensions for the SCIM. The final designed SCIM obtained from implementing the derived equations, when compared with the appropriate reference datasheets, showed only minor deviations from the expected performance indices – an outcome deemed satisfactory for a preliminary design attempt. These initial dimensions may in practice be subjected to the appropriate refinement. Depending on the target performance requirement of the motor.

“…It is aimed to contribute to the high-efficiency design of Brazilian standard motors. They observe that it is effective as the first step in machine design by changing the parameters of the program without the requirement for any other tool [12]. Zöhra and Akar, an interface program with a power of 5.5 kW was designed in accordance with IM standards, which were dimensioned geometrically, electrically, and magnetically.…”

In this study, the performance analysis of a 5.5 kW, 460 V, 60 Hz, 4-pole, and 3-phase squirrel- cage induction motor (IM) has been carried out by developing a portable electronic circuit, design, and the software, independent of any commercial software. The mathematical equations used in the design steps and the preliminary design of the main dimensions of the squirrel cage IM are realized with a developed electronic circuit. To perform preliminary design calculations Nextion 7-inch touch screen, Arduino mega 2560 microcontroller is used in electronic circuit design. Briefly, IM basic data are entered from the Nextion 7 inches touch screen in the electronic circuit created and the data are sent to the Arduino Mega 2560 microcontroller card via serial communication. On the Arduino Mega 2560 microcontroller board, IM mathematical calculations are accomplished, and the calculation results are presented on the Nextion screen. It has been observed that the analytical calculations and the calculation results in the developed calculation tool have been obtained in good agreement.

“…Aguiar and friends proposed the effect of resizing the induction motor stator winding. They stated that change of the number of parallel conductors and the use of chorded coils have shown gains up to efficiency by 2.6% [16]. Tahar's work has been devoted to the calculation of the undulatory parameters and the study of the influence of the number parallel path of a winding on overvoltage compared to the frame and between turns (sections) in a multi turn random winding of an induction motors supplied with PWM-converters [17].…”

In the design steps of the induction machines, reducing the power consumption level of the induction machine is a very important issue. Winding topology is one of the most important design parameters for induction machines. Variation of the number of turns in the slots has a significant effect on the performance of the machine. In this study, unlike the studies in the literature, only the number of turns are changed and analyses are performed. Parameters such as stator outer diameter, inner diameter, package length, number of slots, air gap length, coil section and etc. are kept constant. 6 different induction machines which have 6 different winding topologies are designed. 3 of the machines are designed half-coiled and the other 3 machine are designed whole-coiled. Both winding topologies have different turn numbers for a single slot. The turn numbers are 96, 106 and 116 respectively. Noload, locked rotor, and load tests are conducted on these machines. According to the test results and analytical results, performances of the machines are considered. In this way, increasing the turn number for both winding topologies has a decreasing effect on the iron losses of the motor. Similarly, increasing of the stator and rotor resistances directly affects the copper losses of the machine negatively. When considering the efficiencies of the machines, maximum efficiency is achieved for half-coiled 116 turns numbered topology. Similarly, maximum efficiency is achieved for whole-coiled 106 turns numbered topology.
