Analytical and laboratory study of the effect of unbalanced voltages in the voltage source on the currents and performance of a three-phase induction motor


Abstract in English

This paper presents an analytical and laboratory study of the behavior and evolution of the symmetrical components of both voltage and current of a three-phase induction motor as a function of the load torque applied to it and to increasing in the imbalance which effect the electrical grid. The effect of unbalanced voltages in the voltage source will be also examined on the distribution of motor currents in the three lines and on its performance.
