Advantage of Double Cage Rotor over Single Cage Rotor Induction Motor

Abstract

The simulation of double cage induction motor provides the base for the design of the squirrel cage induction motor to prevent desing error and mistakes in its construction and testing so as to obtain maximum efficiency. This paper presents the advantage of double cage rotor over the single cage rotor induction motor. This is achieved through the investigations on the Torque-speed and Stator current-speed characteristics generated through simulation by MATLAB for the purpose of illustration
