Abstract

In this paper, a brief overview of problems related to the electromagnetic, mechanical design criteria is reported. Also, we described the results about the comparisons between BLDC motor and induction motor for Turbo Compressor considering motor cost, efficiency and reliability. As a result, we select an induction motor for 12.5RT Turbo compressor for the application of small building's all-conditioning system. Finally, a prototype induction motor was manufactured and tested under compressor set. The test results were successfully met the mechanical, thermal and electromagnetic point of view.
