Comparison of static, dynamic, and static‐dynamic eccentricity in induction machines with squirrel‐cage rotors using 2D‐transient FEM

Abstract

Finite‐element simulations of induction machines with squirrel‐cage rotor require transient solution algorithms. For this reason a transient 2D solver is utilized which takes rotational movement of the rotor into account. Its formulation and the time‐step algorithm are given. Two different kinds of eccentricity of the rotor and their combination are defined and studied. The three motor variants are computed and the torque, the net force, and the surface‐force density are compared in time and frequency domain.
