Abstract

This paper presents the numerical analysis of magnetic and electric characteristics of a permanent-split capacitor single-phase induction motor by the 2-dimensional finite element method which takes account the electric field and the terminal voltage. The main and auxiliary winding currents are calculated and compared with the measured values, good agreement is obtained. More precisely, the flux and maximum flux density distributions, axis-ratio and iron loss distributions are determined and analyzed taking into account the core saturation and secondary eddy current effect. The speed and capacitive characteristic curves of the capacitive motor are also analyzed and investigated.
