Induction Motors

Alternating current (AC) induction motors have a long history of successful operation in industrial applications and have proved to be rugged and reliable machines.

Induction motors are robust and reasonably priced drives for mains or frequency inverters. They can be used over a wide range of field suppression applications. Their speed is dependent on the load in unregulated modes of operation.

Applications: When ruggedness and simplicity are desired, the ability to run directly off mains supply without a controller can make the induction machine the only sensible choice. For low cost, variable speed applications, the wide availability of off-the-shelf controllers keeps the induction machine attractive even when compared with reluctance types.

Design Services: SDT has designed induction machines for a variety of applications requiring optimum performance. Our design method employs advanced optimisation techniques along with our industrial experience allowing us to identify the main parameters for a successful design.
