20.500.12556/RUL-171084 Modeling of a C-frame reluctance-enhanced shaded-pole induction motor—study of shaded-coil design Shaded-pole induction motors are the most frequently used single-phase electric motors in low power applications. Their main advantages are reliability, robustness, low level of noise and vibration, relatively simple manufacturing technology and cost effectiveness. These motors are the driving units of choice in the applications where the variable speed and high starting torque are not of utmost importance, in spite of the fact that they are characterized by inferior efficiency, power factor and starting torque compared to their single-phase counterparts. They are equipped with auxiliary massive copper coils at the stator side, which makes them self-starting, and strongly influence the motor characteristics. This study deals with the numerical modeling and analysis of a shaded-pole induction motor with a C-shaped stator frame. The analysis was performed using 2D finite element-based transient magnetic numerical modeling. The primary objective was to investigate the influence of the number and size of the auxiliary shaded coils on the output torque speed characteristic. We explored the possibility of reducing the amount of material used while preserving the crucial/nominal properties of the motor. Our results have important implications in manufacturing simplification, which may be important for the eco-design of small motors and actuators, including their recycling and/or reuse process. shaded pole induction motor single-phase induction motor finite element method numerical modeling enofazni asinhronski motor z zasenčenimi poli enofazni asinhronski motor metoda končnih elementov numerično modeliranje true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2025-08-01 13:21:04 2025-08-01 13:21:06 2025-08-02 04:08:29 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2025 0 0 19 str. issue 8, [article no.] 368 Vol. 14 Avg. 2025 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno apc 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 621.313/.314 2076-0825 10.3390/act14080368 243816707 actuators-14-00368.pdf actuators-14-00368.pdf 1 B25938D54736347B80F4650D9D9D80C1 c09c7219d31139934083e44aca7fdc84c3788d87c326dce1961836d825fa4642 01f8c60c-6eca-11f0-9328-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=213858 https://www.mdpi.com/2076-0825/14/8/368 1 91473cc0-6ec9-11f0-9328-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=213857 Fakulteta za elektrotehniko 0 0 0
