Operation of the induction motor supplied with a distorted voltage

The paper presents the theoretical basis of the mathematical expression derived from the American standard, used to determine the thermally permissible torque load capacity of the cage induction motors when supplied with distorted voltages. The results of the measurement verification of this expression for different voltage shapes supplying the tested motor are presented. The test results confirmed the correctness of the expression when the motor is supplied with distorted voltage with a limited number of higher harmonics.
