Abstract

Conventionally the rotors of cage type induction motors
are laminated. There is also the possibility of using a
solid rotor made from magnetic steel. This option offers
advantages associated with ease of construction and
reduced material costs. There are two main versions of
solid rotor construction. The simpler version is
essentially a steel cylinder without a cage or end-rings.
A solid steel rotor with an embedded aluminum or
copper cage constitutes the other version. There has
been very little published work on the first version and,
to the author's knowledge, there has not been anything
reported on the second version. In this paper an
equivalent circuit model is developed for the solid rotor
induction motor. The model allows analysis of both rotor
versions. It highlights the operational advantages and
disadvantages of solid rotor construction.
