  • Abstract
    As an electromechanical transducer, the squirrel-cage induction motor is simple and rugged. With variable-frequency inverters it is possible to operate an induction motor over a wide range of speeds, supplying a constant horsepower load. Performance is a function of sizing of motors and sizing of inverters. These relationships are explored on a fundamental basis.
