Abstract:
In this study, a 3kW squired cage induction motor having slits in stator and rotor were examined . The slite depth and width in the 56 different sated motor models were optimized with Finite Element Method Magnetics (FEMM) software by using Finite Elements Method (FEM). What value the depth and width of optimum slit should be was determined in order to obtain maximum motor efficiency in the new motor models created with the proposed slitted structure, and how the depth and width of slit could affect the performance of motor was demonstrated.
