Modelling of Dynamic States of Five-Phase Induction Motor
- Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Informatics, Technical University of Kosice, Kosice, Slovakia
In this paper is presented a mathematical model of a five-phase induction motor with a cage rotor and a stator coils connected to a star. In constructing the mathematical model, It is assumed that the motor is fed from a five-phase frequency converter with an ideal harmonic waveform of the output supply voltage. It is considered that the motor operates in an open control loop with the ability to control the frequency and amplitude of the supply voltage. The basic voltage equations in a two-phase coordinate system coupled to a stator are derived, as well as the relation for the electromagnetic moment. Based on the parameters measured on a real motor, a dynamic model was implemented in Matlab-Simulink environment. Using the dynamic model, various motor operating states were simulated, such as frequency ramp-up, speed reversal, or operation at super-nominal frequencies.
