Energy Efficient Three Phase Squirrel Cage Induction Motor fed AC Drives
Keywords: Induction motor, Enamel, Nano fillers, Load test, Efficiency.
Three phase squirrel cage induction motors consume 60% of industrial electricity. 1% increase in efficiency of
all the motors in India will save 500 MW powers which needs the initial generation cost of 2000 crores. The
efficiency of an induction motor can be substantially improved by controlling the voltage to frequency ratio
(V/Hz). Another method of improving the efficiency of induction motor was coating enameled copper wire filled
with Al2O3 nano filler. One such method used in this project was carried out under serious literature survey.
Based on the previous project works, actions were taken to use the enamel filled with nano filler as the
coating for the induction motor to improve its efficiency. Definitely, there will be a tremendous improvement
in the efficiency of the induction motor and hence the motor can be called as “High Efficiency Squirrel Cage
Induction Motor”.
