Induction motor no-load start-up invertible speed–time characteristic under asymmetrical voltage supply
摘要
This paper presents an analysis of the starting behavior of an induction motor under asymmetrical voltage supply conditions. An analytical expression describing the time (t) – speed (n) relationship during start-up is derived, and by applying the Newton’s method, the corresponding n-t characteristic is obtained. The resulting formulation provides a practical tool for accurately assessing start-up behavior under voltage asymmetry, with reduced computational effort. The results are validated through Simulink simulation, Typhoon HIL simulation, and laboratory measurements on a real induction machine. It is shown that an increase in asymmetry significantly affects the machine’s starting time. This study provides insight into the effects of supply asymmetry on motor start-up performance, highlighting its practical significance, as such conditions frequently occur due to load imbalance or phase interruption.
