STEADY STATE PERFORMANCE EQUATIONS OF THE INDUCTION MOTOR

Key variables in the machine are as follows: 1) Air gap power 2) Mechanical and Shaft output power 3) Electromagnetic torque

Real power transmitted from the stator to the air gap is the difference between total input power to the stator windings and copper losses in the stator is given by the eqn

Neglecting the core losses the air gap power is equal to the total power dissipated as /s in the three phases of the machine. The equation(1) for air gap power is given by

It can also be written as

In the above equation the first term is denoted as rotor copper loss and hence the second term gives the power converted into mechanical form. Rotor copper losses are equal to the product of the slip and air gap power from the equation(1) and this is known as slip power. The mechanical power output is obtained as the equation(3)

Mechanical power output is equal to the electromagnetic torque and rotor speed is given by the equation(4)

where Te is the internal or electromagnetic torque. From the equation(3)

Sub for rotor speed in terms of slip and stator frequency is given by

The electromagnetic or air gap torque is obtained as

The shaft output power of the machine is obtained by subtracting the windage and frictional losses of the rotor from the mechancial output power of the machine. The equation(5) is given by

Friction and windage losses are two distinct and separate losses and these two losses are proportional and square of the speed.They have to be represented as a function of speed for variable speed performance of induction motor.

There are also other losses due to stray magnetic fields in the machine and they are covered by the term stray load losses. The stray load losses may vary from 0.25 to 0.5 percent of the rated machine output.

The stray load losses are obtained from the measurements on the machine under the load from the remainder of the difference between the input power and sum of the losses such as stator and rotor copper losses,friction and windage losses and power output.
