Abstract

The interaction between the eddy currents induced in the solid cylindrical rotor steel structure and the revolving field of the airgap produces the electrodynamic torque. The polyphase induction machine with solid-iron rotor offers advantages in ease of manufacture, in high torque per ampere at standstill, in withstanding high rotational stresses, and in operating in unusual environments. It is the purpose of this paper to present an approximate three-dimensional nonlinear numerical analysis of the solid-rotor induction motor for finding the three-dimensional current-density distribution in the solid rotor, in order to calculate the performance characteristics, based on finite-difference iterative techniques.
