| Abstract |
An Expert System (ES) for the analysis and design optimization of low-power, three-phase inductionmotors (IMs) is presented. The ES is based on analytical models, which are carefully selected fromliterature, and coupled together to calculate motor performance characteristics. These performance characteristicsare computed within a few seconds. Also, validation of the ES calculation results againstmeasurements on four test motors shows that the analysis results are reasonably accurate. Additionally,the ES is applied to redesign a case study motor and a prototype of the new design is realized. Thetheoretical design results are validated against measurement performed on the prototype. This validationshows that the design optimization works, though a more accurate description of the lamination materialB(H) characteristic is desirable to improve the accuracy of the ES. |
