MATLAB Based Model for Analysis of the Effect of Equivalent Circuit Parameters of an Asynchronous Motor on its Dynamic Characteristics

A poly phase asynchronous motor - for instance, an induction motor finds application in several areas due to its reliability, robustness, low maintenance and a very competitive pricing. This paper addresses the impact of stator and rotor parameters of an induction motor in its dynamic characteristics using a MATLAB / SIMULINK based model. This analysis helps in determining the stator and rotor circuit resistance and inductances to reduce steady state time and minimize jerks during starting of the motor.
