Synopsis

It has been more than a century since the principle of the operation of induction motors was discovered. The first industrial motors of this type were constructed at the end of the Nineteenth Century and soon gained the favor of users who appreciated their raggedness, simplicity and relatively low manufacturing cost compared to DC commutator motors. The design and performance of induction motors were improved during the Twentieth to Century, reaching maturity around the late 1930s. Further improvements date principally concern the use of modern construction material, specially for winding isolation, and deeper knowledge of certain phenomena regarding harmonics and noise reduction, more efficient cooling techniques, and so on. Nevertheless, fed by fixed-frequency and fixed-magnitude mainlines, induction motors do not lend themselves to easy speed regulation, and in this respect they have always seemed inferior to DC commutator motors, which had no serious competitors in the field of variable speed applications.

From the Back Cover

This book provides a thorough approach for mastering the behavior and operation of induction motors, an essential device in the modern industrial world. Its way of presentation renders this book suitable for selfteaching by students, engineers, and researchers in the field of electrical engineering. It covers the modern theory of induction motor applications and control methods. The transient analysis of both three-phase and single-phase induction motors as well as that of the double-cage motors are developed. The principles of such modern control methods as Fiel-Oriented Control, Direct Torque Control and Computed Charges Acceleration Method are clearly treated in this monograph. Numerous equations, simulations, and figures are presented.
