Abstract

The calculation model of motor operating on asymmetric rotor was defined taking a traction squirrel-cage induction motor in Electric Multiple Units (EMU) as sample. Based on the basic principle of numerical analysis, magnetic field in the motor and current in the bar were calculated for both normal motor and broken-bar motor by using the Jmag software, and both the magnetic field variation and current variation in the bar were summed up. According to the EMU’s special control methods, the motor with two broken bars was simulated at different work point, and the characteristic component variation was presented. The works in this paper lay the foundation of diagnosis method for broken rotor bar fault, especially for traction motor in EMU.
