Abstract:
Small industrial three-phase induction motors (IMs) normally suffer from poor
operational efficiency and power factor. This paper presents a high-performance
line-start permanent magnet synchronous motor (LSPMSM) which is developed by
simple modifications of an off-the-shelf small industrial three-phase IM with
minimized additional costs. Two-dimensional (2-D) dynamic finite element
analysis (FEA) models are employed to assess the machine performances, which are
validated by comprehensive experimental results. The experimental comparisons
between the amended LSPMSM and the original IM have indicated that significant
improvements in efficiency and power factor can be achieved by the proposed
LSPMSM.
