Abstract
Presently, Induction motors are driving forces of industry for both controlled and uncontrolled
applications because of their robust construction and easier controlling techniques with efficient
energy conversion. In addition, Three-phase induction has a low price, a reasonably good power
factor, self-starting, and a low cost of maintenance. Three-phase squirrel-cage induction motors
are widely used as industrial drives due to their self-starting, reliability, and economy.
In this thesis modeling and analysis of three-phase squirrel cage induction motor and simulation
using ANSYS Electronics has been done. The finite element method provides us to compute
induction motor characteristics. The motor parameters and characteristics can be precisely
calculated and predicted in terms of field computation and analysis results. Magnetic flux lines,
Magnetic flux density, and transient analysis using the Maxwell 2d model are analyzed and
animated using the two-dimensional finite element method in ANSYS Maxwell 2D. A 3-phase
Sinusoidal Pulse Width Modulated (SPWM) Inverter is simulated in Ansys Simplorer Software
and the Dynamic Analysis of the above-simulated 2D transient model of induction motor is
examined. MATLAB-SIMULINK is used for the analysis, of the close loop V/f control of the
Induction Motor in MATLAB, using the PID controller. The PID based feedback controller
functioning is validated by results of Matlab based simulation model. The variation of torque, and
rotor speed for target reference speeds and sudden load changes is observed.
