Mathematical models for induction machines

Different mathematical models have been used over the years to examine different problems associated with induction motors. These range from the simple equivalent circuit models to more complex d,q models and abc models which allow the inclusion of various forms of impedance and/or voltage unbalance. Recently, hybrid models have been developed which allow the inclusion of supply side unbalance but with the computational economy of the d,q models. This paper presents these models with typical results and provides guidelines for their use.
