Abstract

Today, induction motors which have a widespread usage network is constantly developed by manufacturers. It is frequently used in heavy industry, the mines household appliances and consumer electronics due to its cheap maintenance, efficiency, effective torque and easy control features. Designers go to increase productivity with various analysis methods. Moreover, designers want to check the manufacturability of their desired machines. In this study, the multi physics design of an induction motor is discussed. Mechanical, electromagnetic, thermal, harmonic and stress analyzes are carried out in the design. Various analysis methods are discussed for electromagnetic and thermal analysis. Among these analysis techniques, Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) methods are generally preferred. SEA and CFD methods, which have various advantages over other analysis methods are used. In addition, the components required in multi physics design are emphasized. ANSYS Maxwell, Steady-State Thermal, Modal and Static Structural software are used in the analysis. In this study, the necessary analyzes for the design of an induction motor are carried out.

Keywords
