Abstract :
This paper deals with a new way of synthesis and modelling of electrostatic induction micromotors by means of duality rules from the magnetic induction machine. An electromechanical model based on this method is given. Then, a computational procedure based on a general lumped parameter model and an electric field calculation code, has been developed so as to simulate the dynamic working of these actuators. A comparison is made between the computation results and the model results. Satisfactory agreement between theory and simulation is obtained in most respects
