Sensitivity Analysis Of An Induction Machine With A Solid Rotor

Abstract

The main focus of this paper is to show the results of sensitivity analysis of an inductionmachine with a solid rotor. For the case study, a three-phase induction machine with a squirrel cage ischosen. However, the rotor of this machine is replaced with an axially slitted solid rotor. The electromagneticmodel is analyzed by transient simulation using the FEM-based program Ansys maxwell.For the sensitivity analysis, several parameters are changed in a wide range to see the difference inthe machine overall performance. Some of the results of these simulations are shown and discussedat the end of this paper.
