High efficiency design of induction machines for industrial applications

This paper presents a high-level overview of the issues and challenges relating to high efficiency induction machine design for industrial applications. First, a brief overview of the classical approach to machine design is presented, followed by a commentary on contemporary design using finite element method and design optimization techniques. The issues, challenges and opportunities of improving the efficiency of induction motors are discussed and some interesting results of stack lengthening investigations are presented.
