A New Approach to Multi-Segmented Rotor Slot Design for Induction Motors Part III

The "Linear Equi-Permeance Rotor Slot" Model Theory, established in Parts I and II of this paper, have furnished the "conceptual tooling" and the methods for the efficient handling of multi-segmented rotor slots, in optimization analyses with respect to shape, number of segments and proportions. In essence, what has been created, is the availability of such design analysis techniques, which do overcome the "non-linearity barrier" of design optimizations with multi-segmented rotor slots and consequently, make the true overall motor performance optimization a practical reality, with full consideration given to the entire acceleration speed range too.
