Abstract
General equations for squirrel-cage induction motors are derived based on the real geometry of the motor. The squirrel cage is described by its meshes; no equivalent windings are used. By means of complex time-dependent transformations free angles are introduced which simplify the set of equations when the specific geometrical properties of both types in which the asynchronous machines fundamentally can be divided are taken into account. The equations are general in the sense that all space harmonics are taken into account, due to the MMF and double slotting. This provides a better calculation of the synchronous, pulsating, and asynchronous torques. The final equations enable the formulation of some specific properties of both types in connection to their electromechanical behavior. Further, they are valid for star and delta connections and for any arbitrary source voltage. >
