End-ring

Overview

In the Motor Factory – Design area, the environment “End-ring” allows to design the cross-section shape and the dimensions of the squirrel cage end-rings on both sides of the machine.

For both inner rotor machines and outer rotor machines, a section scrolling bar allows choosing the section in which user inputs are defined.

Scrolling selection bar where the Design, Impedance, X-Factor and Operating conditions sections can be selected.

Table 1. End-ring design area

1	Selection of the End-ring panel (Click on the icon End-ring) Several sections allow defining all characteristics that deal with the end-ring: Design, Impedance, X-Factor and Operating.
2	Access to the section dedicated to the design of the end-rings. Note: By default, the section Design is selected.
2.1	Selection of the shape and settings of the user inputs dedicated to the design of the end-rings.
3	Impedance tab gives the tools to compute the inter-bar impedance of the squirrel cage.
4	X-Factor tab gives access to the user coefficients (calibration factors = X-factors) that allows to tune the inter-bar end-ring resistances and inductances.
5	Operating tab to define a working point for evaluating the characteristics of the inter-bar end-ring impedances.
