Abstract
An analysis of additional high-frequency losses in high-speed cage induction motors with closed rotor slots under sinusoidal and inverter supply at no load is presented. Calculated losses are compared with experimental results obtained by measurement on a 270 kW, 16,200/min, prototype motor, at both the delta and star connections of the stator winding. The main additional losses of the prototype motor investigated due to inverter supply are eddy current losses in the stator winding. Both measurement and calculation show that, at the delta connection, the additional losses are higher due to the lower modulation degree of the inverter, causing higher harmonic voltage amplitudes.
