The customer is always right-improved performance of high speed induction motors

The development of the induction motor has been driven by many factors over the last century resulting in today´s mature product which apparently offers few opportunities for significant improvement. However, design engineers have continued to respond to market forces as they have arisen and reliable performance continues to be enhanced in today´s novel products. This paper demonstrates a large step forward in the design of high speed induction machines and the ability to model their thermal performance
