OPTIMIZATION OF SERIES OF INDUCTION MOTORS FOR STANDARD FRAMES

Abstract

In the present work, the series of induction motors, having different outputs and speeds is being, optimized using complex Box algorithm. Firstly, the general design procedure is presented and the different considerations involved in three phase induction motor design, are discussed. A flow chart for general design procedure using synthesis appy aeh of design has been developed. The different optimization techniques are discussed and the complex Box method. is selected for present problem on the, basis that only four variables are used for optimizing the series. The objective function is formulated using two approaches, namely the root mean square method and weightage function method. - The results of series optimization are compared with. that of individual optization- of rectors. The various constraints are selected as per practice eeopted by manufacturers.
