Simulation of Saturated Deep Bar Induction Motors in the Presence of Iron Loss

The investigation of the performance of 3-phase induction motors requires reconsideration in their modeling. In this paper two different models have been studied and three influential parameters on motor performance have been considered altogether for the first time. The first model uses variable rotor parameters for modeling the skin effect while the second model applies constant parameters in a more complicated manner. Simulation results confirmed that both models have been in good agreement. The skin effect, core losses and saturation have also been investigated and presented in this paper
