Abstract

This paper presents the application of MATLAB® Simulink as a useful tool for predicting the performance of an induction motor. The influence of power quality problem on the performance of an induction motor is critically investigated. Mathematical modelling of an induction motor subjected to an unsymmetrical voltage conditions are presented. The results obtained from the simulation reveal the presence of rotor noise and vibration during operation of induction motor under voltage unbalance.
