Abstract

This paper deals with the possibility of the efficiency improvement for the three-phase, low voltage, squirrel cage motor, using copper for the rotor cage. The analyze was made for single speed, three-phase squirrel cage induction motors with the rated power between 0.55 and 45 kW; 2,4,6 and 8 poles. Both the materials costs increase and the saved energy during the machine life were considered.

Keywords

Efficiency, Power Factor, Losses, Rotor Power.
