Investigating the Effects of Load Conditions and Voltage Unbalance on Premium and Superpremium Motor Performance

This paper presents a comparison of the performance of squirrel cage induction motors (SCIMs) and permanent magnet motors (LSPMMs) under typical operating conditions. To that end, the effects of voltage unbalance and different rated load conditions are examined to determine the motors' performance and tolerance to disturbances. Results show that SCIMs demonstrate slightly higher tolerances to disturbances than LSPMMs in non-ideal voltage conditions, thus providing insight into their effectiveness in various applications. This comparison is crucial for a better understanding of motor performance and its implications for the design and operation of motors in certain operating conditions and regions.
