Electromechanical Transient Performance of Induction Motors

This paper is the result of a differential analyzer study of the starting characteristics of 2-phase induction motors. The prototype of the motors investigated is the small 2-phase machine commonly used in closed cycle control systems. The performance equations of the induction motor are solved, and summary curves based upon the conclusions reached are presented in a form useful to motor designers. No published data of this type have come to the attention of the authors. It is hoped that the results herein reported can be utilized in the design of better motors for servo applications.
