Finite-Element and Analytical Calculations of No-Load Core Losses in Energy-Saving Induction Motors
Abstract — This paper presents a no-load core loss analysis of a three-phase energy-saving small-size induction motor supplied by a sinusoidal voltage. In the field-circuit approach, the distribution and changes of magnetic flux density in the motor are computed using a time-stepping finite-element method. The discrete Fourier transform is used to analyze the magnetic flux density waveforms in each element of the motor model.
Webinar: Multiphysics Simulation in Opera
Cobham Technical Services – Vector Fields Software and its product Opera have been at the forefront of finite element electromagnetic analysis for more than twenty-five years.
Opera is a general-purpose finite element software suite for the design and optimization of electromagnetic devices in two or three space dimensions. The software has been in continuous development since 1984, and its accuracy and capabilities for multiphysics analysis has made it a firm favourite in both scientific and industrial communities. The ability to couple electromagnetic analysis to built-in thermal and stress solutions, along with drive circuits, mechanical drives and system representations allows in-depth analysis. Remove assumptions and bottlenecks from your design process and deliver right-first-time products.

Modelling of 0.5HP Induction Motor using AC Analysis Solver for Rotor Copper Bar material
Abstract — In this paper a FEM model of a three phase 0.5HP squirrel-cage induction motor is modelled by using FEM software. The model is then used to analyze and investigate the performance of the induction machine using copper rotor bar compared to the conventional aluminium rotor bar material. Calculation using analytical tools could not calculate precisely the required parameters in order to obtain an optimal model to build a prototype model.
