Abstract
In general the distributed winding method is applied for induction motor in order to have the sinusoidal flux distribution. Recently the concentrated winding method is the interested technique so as to lower the material cost portion of copper coil. In the concentrated winding induction motor the harmonic flux and the torque deterioration by it would be occurred. To restrain ill effect of harmonic flux distribution by concentrated winding, the skew of rotor conduction bar is very important design variable. This study is focused on the optimal design of rotor bar's skew and winding turns for concentrated winding induction motor. In this study, the control method of harmonic parasitic torque in concentrated winding induction motor is proposed and validated its practicality through the experiment. As a result of this study, large skew angle which was not conventional in distributed winding was favorable in the concentrated winding induction motor. The concentrated winding induction motor which is designed per the proposed method of this study can be manufactured more cost effectively than conventional distributed winding.
