Optimization of the Performance of Single-Phase Capacitor-Run Induction Motor

Mahdi Salman Alshamasin

Abstract

The aim of the study was to suggest optimal solution for the impact of harmonics on the performance of Capacitor-Run Motor (CRM), the most commonly used single-phase motor. Therefore, investigations were carried out over the entire slip from no-load condition up to the locked-rotor condition, for harmonics of various orders in the case of using Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) speed control. The investigations gave the ability to optimize the performance of CRM by choosing the appropriate parameters of the PWM inverter. Mathematical model for CRM supplied from voltage source contained harmonics was presented. The work was conducted by using a digital computer simulation (MATLAB software).
