RT Journal Article SR Electronic A1 Janoušek, Ladislav A1 Hrabovcová, Valéria T1 Determination of Induction Motor Efficiency Using Non-Linear Programming JF Communications - Scientific Letters of the University of Zilina YR 1999 VO 1 IS 3 SP 4 OP 12 DO 10.26552/com.C.1999.3.4-12 UL https://komunikacie.uniza.sk/artkey/csl-199903-0001.php AB This paper deals with determination of induction motor efficiency, as one of the qualitative indexes of machine operation, by means of acalculation and measurement during its operation. The possibilities of the efficiency calculation are described and it is explained that the simplest method for the efficiency determination is a calculation from a steady state equivalent circuit of the machine. This method is improved by an optimization of the induction machine equivalent circuit parameters based on the measured quantities during steady state operation of the machine. Optimization utilises non-linear programming.
