In this paper, a modified equivalent circuit model (ECM), which considers the effects of an arc-shaped stator structure and saturation, is presented to calculate the characteristics of a two-degree-of-freedom direct drive induction motor (2DoFDDIM). The motor has a novel slotted solid rotor (SSR), which is slotted along the axial and circumferential directions, and copper is cast in the slots. The SSR is equivalent to a cage rotor by analyzing the current distribution using the circuit diagram. The corrected ECM parameter expressions of a cage rotor are proposed to calculate the SSR parameters. The characteristics obtained by ECM and finite element method are compared to verify the accuracy of the modified ECM. This paper provides reference for calculating the parameters of the induction motor with SSR.

This paper presents a nonintrusive method for estimating the parameters of an Induction Motor (IM) without the need for the conventional no-load and locked rotor tests. The method is based on a relatively new swarm-based algorithm called the Chicken Swarm Optimization (CSO). Two different equivalent circuits implementations have been considered for the parameter estimation scheme (one with parallel and the other with series magnetization circuit). The proposed parameter estimation method was validated experimentally on a standard 7.5 kW induction motor and the results were compared to those obtained using the IEEE Std. 112 reduced voltage impedance test method 3. The proposed CSO optimization method gave accurate estimates of the IM equivalent circuit parameters with maximum absolute errors of 5.4618% and 0.9285% for the parallel and series equivalent circuits representations respectively when compared to the IEEE Std. 112 results. However, standard deviation results in terms of the magnetization branch parameters, suggest that the series equivalent circuit model gives more repeatable results when compared to the parallel equivalent circuit.
