Abstract

The aim of the paper is to discuss the ability of a numerical code in reproducing a real machine behavior, with particular reference to the cage currents of a four poles 50 Hz induction motor. The used 2D Finite Element method (FEM) is based on voltage driven field formulation, handling the nonlinearity by the Fixed Point technique and the rotor movement by the Sliding Mesh approach. The numerical outcomes are validated by experiments performed on a dedicated laboratory set-up, able to provide the instantaneous cage currents.. Then, a spectral algorithm has been applied to the experimental and computed variables and the results have been interpreted in terms of magneto-motive forces. This approach allows us to determine possible machine eccentricities or other asymmetries not introduced in the simulations. Discussing the computed and measured spectra and excluding in the last ones the lines corresponding to non-idealities, an evaluation on how the modeling approach reproduces accurately the real machine is possible. The validated model will be able to reproduce the machine behavior of usual induction machines whose rotor currents are not measurable.
