ASYNCHRONOUS ELECTRIC MOTOR WITH SINGLE-PHASE STATOR WINDING

The current standard considers the efficiency of electric motors only in terms of power efficiency and does not pay attention to the so-called economic efficiency - the power factor that affects the loss of electricity in the motor supply network and depends on its energy excellence.This ill-considered approach to establishing the energy efficiency class is a significant shortcoming of the European standard and requires its refinement. The single-phase power supply network in housing and communal services has led to the fact that modern motor compressor units of refrigerators, air conditioners, etc. are equipped with single-phase asynchronous electric motors. An innovative single-phase asynchronous AC motor for motor-compressor units of household appliances is considered in the paper. The stator winding of it is composed of two identical series-connected coils enclosed in half-slots of the stator with a spacious offset of 900.The phase shift of the currents in the coils is provided by a capacitor connected in parallel to one of the coils. The proposed motor is technological in production, has higher specific power and energy efficiency than existing models and meets the IE-3 class energy efficiency. Equivalent electrical circuit and vector diagram of currents for this motor have been developed and shown. They are intended for its mathematical simulation, calculation of static operating characteristics, analysis of dynamic properties at operation in the electric drive system, and also at the level of design work.
