Tips for Applying AC Induction Motors

Posted February 19, 2008 8:15 AM

AC induction motors running at constant line speed and steady torque are common in industry. The application reduces to a heat management problem: how to get the most work out of the motor without exceeding temperature limitations. Here are five things to think about. Do you have other application tips to offer?

Hi there...! Yes I do have a little 'brainstorming idea' here to help solve the sky-hi gas prices down the road by the way of a concept to the common gas engines. As follow... For example, the 'Wankel' engine, we all are familiar with can probably be make it out to turn with electrical input instead of gas. Since this engine charasteristics are rotative motions, we can probably make it adapt same concept to make run on electrical input like an electric motor but with the mechanical advantages of the 'Wankel' engine charasteristics as power production. With the hi tech in electronics technology of proximity sensors and computerized operation in place that will be some how accomplish it with some try and error approaching. Such will be like an engine mutuation for the running on empty era. The other concept I was thinking about it was also applying for the regular reciprocating pistons engines by the adaptation of a set of big strongs solenoids which simulate the reciprocating motion of the pistons to propulse the crankshaft instead. Probably the 'Wankel' engine aproach will be easier to adopt due it's inherent rotary characteristical mechanical operation. Who Know's ? Don't bring it to the bank yet as this is just brainstorming a little here, he he ha...! Have a good day and enjoy it...

Respectfuly;

MC
