Modeling iron losses in rotating electric motors

Abstract

From all the electric motors types, the induction motor is the most common Therefore, it is not a surprise to notice that it is still the subject of many research aiming to improve its modeling and optimize its design. Despite its simplicity of manufacture and implementation, modeling and calculating the induction motor is not easy. The objective of this work is study and account the iron losses in an induction motor in No-Load test by measuring the Iron losses on steel sheet type M800-50A using Epstein frame, and calculating them again by using steinmetz, bertotti equation for different values of frequency and flux density, and the comparison between the iron losses produced by each steel sheet type M800-50A and M400-50A for the Epstein frame and the Steinmetz and Bertotti equations
