Effects of harmonics in the induction motors: a review

Abstract

The behavior of induction machines varies when they are feed with sources having harmonics tension. This paper shows a view about the conditions operation and the effects of the harmonics tension, in the trifasical induction motors. Basically, will be checked: model, useful life, temperature, additional loses thermical old, power factor, efficiency, vibrations and noises, pulses torques and derated.
