Optimized design and Performance Analysis of Three Phase Induction Motor using Maxwell Software

Abstract

Three phase induction motors are ac motors which are widely employed as a prime mover in most of the industrial applications such as centrifugal pumps, conveyers, compressors crushers, and drilling machines, textile mills etc. In this paper the performance of an 2.2kW, 400 V, four pole, three phase induction motor was analyzed using RMxprt. RMxprt uses a combination of analytical and magnetic circuit equations to predict the performance of this three-phase induction motor.
