Increase of efficiency of a single phase induction machine

This thesis is dedicated to efficiency increase of one phase induction machine through material change of induction cage and rotor slot shape optimization under the condition of maintaining the same locked-rotor torque. In the first part of this thesis is the explanation of induction machine principles. Next is the comparison of measured and simulated parameters of small one phase machine from ATAS company. The following part is dedicated to the analysis of rotor slot shape and ring size influence on machine parameters when using pure aluminum instead of resistive alloy. The next chapter deals with slot shape optimization in the program RMxprt, controlled by genetic algorithm written in MATLAB interface. In the final part are the resultant slot shapes simulated in Ansys Maxwell using finite element method and then the measured, simulated and expected parameters are compared
