This article presents a mathematical model of three-phase induction motor (IM) with a squirrel cage rotor and investigates its starting modes. Specifically, two scenarios are considered: direct starting of an IM and direct starting considering the current displacement effect in the rotor slots. Analyzing the starting modes of an IM without the use of automatic control systems is crucial for ensuring reliable, efficient, and safe operation of equipment across various industrial and commercial sectors. Understanding and accounting for the processes occurring during the starting mode of an IM allows for minimizing risks, enhancing energy efficiency, and reducing operational costs. This article details the mathematical modeling methods used for analyzing these starting modes and the results obtained from the modeling. These results were compared with data obtained experimentally, allowing for the assessment of the accuracy and reliability of the proposed model. The conducted research highlights the importance of considering current displacement in the rotor slots for accurate modeling and analysis of induction motor starting modes, particularly in capturing the differences in the amplitudes of the starting current and the faster transition to steady-state operation. Conclusions drawn from the comparison of modeling and experimental data provide valuable insights for the further development of control and operation methods for induction motors. |
