• Aim:
Write a program to find out the main dimension of induction
motor.

• Objective:
To understand how to find the value of D and L using MATLAB.

• Theory:

The product D2L obtained is split up into its two components D

and L. The ratio of core length to pole pith (ratio L/r) for various design
features is :
Minimum cost – 1.5 to 2
Good power factor – 1.0 to 1.25
Good efficiency – 1.5
Good overall design – 1.

• Procedure:
1) Start the MATLAB

2) Create a new file

3) Write a program to find the value of D and L.

4) Save the program.

• Problem:
Determine the main dimension of 3.7KW, 400V, 50Hz squirrel
cage induction motor started by start delta starter. Assume,
Average flux density in gap = Bav = 0.45Wb/m^2
Ampere conductor per meter = ac = 23000
Efficiency = 0.85, power factor = 0.84
Machine rated at 3.7Kw, 4 pole are sold at a competitive price and
therefore choose the main dimension to give a cheap design.
Winding factor = 0.955, stacking factor = 0.9

• Program:
KW = 3.7;
p = 4;
f = 50;
n = 0.85;
pf = 0.84;
Bav = 0.45;
kw = 0.955;
ac = 23000;
x = 1.5; % x = L/tou
Q = (KW)/(n*pf);
C0 = 11*kw*Bav*ac*10^-3;
Ns = 2*f/p;
D_square_L = Q/(C0*Ns);
L_by_D = (1.5*pi)/p;
y = [(D_square_L)/(L_by_D)];
D = nthroot(y, 3)
L = L_by_D * D
• Output:

D = 0.1174
L = 0.1383

• Result:

Terms Theoretical Practical

D 0.117 0.1174
L 0.138 0.1383

• Conclusion:
In this way we have find the main dimension of induction motor
by using a MATLAB.
