An analytical method for determining circuit parameter of a solid rotor induction motor

This paper presents an analytical method for prediction of equivalent circuit parameter of a solid rotor induction motor with smooth surface. The solid rotor induction motor is similar to a linear induction motor in electromagnetic properties. Therefore, the method of performance calculation for LIM can be applied for the solid rotor induction motor. On the principle of complex power from the equivalent circuit identical to that from electromagnetic field, we develop an analytical model based on 2D polar coordinates and account for the influence of nonlinearity and hysteresis.
