Development of a Software on Performance Calculation for Small Induction Motors

Abstract

This paper presents the development of a software for small inductionmotors on performance calculation. By using the concept of cross-field theory, itgives more speed and ease to use. There are two conditions to be concerned in usingthis calculation method, one is speed and the other is the winding connections: singlewinding or combined winding. This new package is an easily and efficiently operatedsoftware package because it has a graphical user interface (GUI) and runs on apersonal computer along with Microsoft Windows.

With this software, a user can calculate the performance of six types smallinduction motors and they are as follows: capacitor-start motor, split-‘phase motor,permanent split capacitor motor, two-value capacitor motor, split-phase capacitormotor, and two - value dual auxill wedge capacitor motor.
