AbstractSquirrel cage induction motors are widely used in
electric motor drives due to their satisfactory mechanical
characteristics (torque, current, overloading) and small
dimensions, as well as their low price. When starting an
induction motor, a large current is required for magnetizing its
core, which results in a low power factor, rotor power losses and
a temperature rise in the windings. None of these parameters
should reach values beyond certain limits until the motor reaches
nominal speed, i.e. during the motors starting time. In this paper
a comparison between two induction motors for a particular
working mechanism will be presented. The choice will be based
on three criteria: the motors starting time, winding temperature
according to the insulation class, and rotor energy losses. The
simulation is carried out with a specially developed tool in the
MATLAB software environment.

A. Direct starting
Direct induction motor starting is suitable and widely used
for cage motors with small and medium power. This method is
very simple, requires minimum additional equipment and is
most economically acceptable. The starting current is 3 8
times above nominal, with low power factor and relatively
small starting torque Mp. Neglecting the skin effect, eq. (2)
describes the relationship between the motor current and the
torque produced [8]. The rotor slip for rated motor speed is
sn=(0.58) %.
D. Autotransformer starting
Instead of external resistances, an autotransformer can be
used for connecting the motor to the power grid. The voltage
is reduced to (5575) % of its nominal value [2]. In induction
motors, this causes current and torque decrease. The torque
decreases proportionally to the voltage squared, which is
acceptable only for large motors (MW range) and with light
high starting loads, such as fans, ventilators, pumps etc. [1].

B. Wye-delta starting
The motors stator winding is designed for delta operation
and is star connected during the starting period. When the
rated speed is reached, a changeover switch reconnects the
stator winding from star to delta. With star connection, the
stator phase voltage and phase current are reduced by 3,
which means the torque and the line starting current are three
times smaller compared to delta starting. This method is
unsuitable for motors connected to loads that require a large
starting torque [2], [9].
C. Stator resistance starting
In the stator resistance method, external resistances are
connected in series with each phase of stator windings during
starting. This causes voltage drop across the resistances so that
the voltage available across motor terminals is reduced to (60
70) % of the nominal voltage [2], [9]. The starting resistances
are gradually cut out in steps from the stator circuit as the
motor speed rises until it reaches rated speed. The main
disadvantages of this method are low starting torque and

VII. CONCLUSION
In this paper a MATLAB based tool was designed and
presented, which calculates the starting time, rotor energy
losses and winding temperature of an induction motor with
respect to a given load. The tools theoretical background was
also presented. The papers practical aim was to compare the
performances of two machines when propelling an axial fan.
The simulation results were presented and basing on its lower
rotor losses as main criterion, faster starting time, and lower
energy consumption, the Konar 5AZ 100LB-8 motor is
proposed as the better machine for propelling the selected fan.
GRATITUDE
The MATLAB tool presented in this paper was designed
