Problems solved by technology

However, the devices used to measure motor operating parameters may interfere with the operation of the motor or may be relatively expensive.
In addition, it may be difficult to measure the operating parameter.
However, it is extremely difficult to measure the rotor temperature.
However, a typical torque measuring device requires the motor to be disconnected from its load each time the torque measurement is desired, interfering significantly with the operation of the motor.
However, these attempts have not yielded accurate results.

Embodiment Construction

[0018] Turning now to the drawings, and referring first to FIG. 1, an electric motor is shown and designated generally by the reference numeral 20. In the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 1, motor 20 is an induction motor housed in a conventional NEMA enclosure. Accordingly, motor 20 includes a frame 22 open at front and rear ends and capped by a front end cap 24 and a rear end cap 26. The frame 22, front end cap 24, and rear end cap 26 form a protective shell, or housing, for a stator assembly 28 and a rotor assembly 30. Stator windings are electrically interconnected to form groups, and the groups are, in turn, interconnected. The windings are further coupled to terminal leads 32. The terminal leads 32 are used to electrically connect the stator windings to an external power cable (not shown) coupled to a source of electrical power. Energizing the stator windings produces a magnetic field that induces rotation of the rotor assembly 30. The electrical connection between the terminal ...

Abstract

A system and method for establishing estimated values of electrical parameters of a motor. The electrical parameters may be established from motor databases, measured input electrical data, measured output data, and various estimations to account for unknown motor parameters. Compensations also may be provided for stator resistance, cable resistance, and other motor parameters. Based on the foregoing data, the system and method also may be used to estimate motor operating parameters, such as torque, efficiency, output power, output speed, and other performance criteria of the motor. The system and method also may establish energy and monetary comparison data between the motor and at least one alternative motor.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] This application is a divisional of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10 / 675,104, entitled “Motor Parameter Estimation Method and Apparatus,” filed Sep. 30, 2003, which is incorporated by reference herein.BACKGROUND [0002] The present technique relates generally to the field of electric motors. More particularly, the invention relates to a novel technique for estimating unknown parameters of an induction motor based on motor data obtained at one or more operating points or a no-load operating point. [0003] A wide variety of induction motors are available and are currently in use throughout a range of industrial applications. In general, such motors include a stator provided in a motor housing and a rotor surrounded at least partially by the stator and supported for rotation within the housing. The stator and rotor may be mechanically and electrically configured in a variety of manners depending upon a number of factors, including: the ap...
