Abstract
Background: As a component of the motor’s electromechanical energy conversion, the winding is very important. When the winding design is improper, the harmonic content is increased, which leads to an increase in the motor loss and torque ripple. Therefore, winding design is very important for motor design.
Objective: The effect of winding forms on the induction motor is analysed in this paper. The variation in performance parameters of different winding forms is invesitgated.
Methods: This paper takes an 11 kW, 1500 r/min induction motor as the research object; the two- dimensional transient field finite element model has been established to calculate the basic parameters, which are then compared with the experimental data to verify the correctness of the model. Finally, the magnetizing reactance, starting performance, stator leakage reactance, various losses, and efficiency under different winding forms are calculated and compared.
Results: When the motor adopts double-layer winding, the magnetizing reactance, stator slot leakage reactance, and harmonic leakage reactance are less than those of the motor with single-layer winding by 13.47%, 25.37% and 20.97%, respectively, while the end-leakage reactance, starting torque, and starting current rotor copper loss are higher than those of the motor with single-layer winding by 7.14%, 9.52%, 18.54%, and 15.23%, respectively. The core loss and stator copper loss of motors with different winding forms are almost unchanged. The efficiency of the motor with single-layer winding is higher than that of the motor with double-layer winding by 1.22%.
Conclusion: When the winding form is different, the magnetizing reactance, stator slot leakage reactance, harmonic leakage reactance, and end-leakage reactance are different. Leakage reactance is the main factor that causes a difference in starting torque and starting current between the two winding forms. The core loss and stator copper loss of motor with different winding forms are almost unchanged, while the difference in the rotor copper loss is obvious. In addition, the efficiency of the motor with single-layer winding is higher than that of the motor with double-layer winding.
