Design ,Analysis and Performance Improvement of Three Phase Induction Motor

This project aims to design of energy efficient induction motor and inverter fed induction motor. First CAD and FE analysis carried out for the conventional induction motor and then implemented some parameters to improve the efficiency. The power supplied to the motor by a PWM inverter has some adverse effects like damage in insulation, harmonic distortion, temperature rise, damage in bearing. To overcome this, it is necessary to modify the design of conventional induction motor for PWM frequency converter. So, certain modification will be suggested to improve performance of Induction Motor which is energized from inverter.
