Characterization of Three-Phase Induction Motor Using Conservative Power Theory (CPT)
Authors: , , ,
Abstract: This paper presents a characterization of three-phase induction motor by means of Conservative Power Theory (CPT). Conservative Power Theory terms are used to determine an equivalent circuit which represents the three-phase induction machine in steady state. The characterized equivalent circuit can be classified in two different types, namely, current source load and voltage source load. In order to validate the approach, a computer simulation of a three-phase induction machine with squirrel cage in several situations of load and voltage feeding were evaluated and compared with the equivalent circuits characterized by CPT terms.
