Estymacja sprawności silnika indukcyjnego klatkowego pracującego w zespole pompowym

Energy-saving control system of pump drive are designed to minimize power consumption. Energy consumption in pump units depends on the instantaneous efficiency of the pump and motor. The paper was presented non-invasive method for determining the coefficient of efficiency induction-cage motor fed from a source with adjustable frequency. The method has been implemented through the method of determining air gap torque in the motor. Proposes a new method of determining the mechanical losses in the induction-cage motor. Influence of the mechanical power loss estimating on the motor efficiency determining was presented. The article presented the results of laboratory tests and simulations.
