Analysis of Vibration and Noise of Induction Motor Equipped with Concentric Single-Double-Layer Star-Delta Winding

Compared with changing the structure of a motor that has been manufactured,changing the type of stator winding is an economical and time-saving method to reduce the vibration and noise.Thus,a concentric single-double-layer star-delta(CSDLSD)winding for an induction motor is described in this paper with the aim of reducing the noise of the motor.By planning the turns relationship between the two parts of the winding,the harmonic component of the air-gap magnetic field can be decreased.Besides this,through adjusting the turns ratio in each slot of concentric winding per phase respectively,the waveform of the air-gap magnetic field becomes closer to a sinusoidal type.Three motors equipped with the CSDLSD winding and another two types of stator winding were analyzed.The theoretical analysis and the two-dimensional finite element method(2D-FEM)were combined to study the relationship between the harmonics of the air-gap magnetic field and the stator winding.Finally,a 2D fast Fourier transformation(2D-FFT)method was used to obtain the time-frequency spectrum of the air-gap flux density and electromagnetic excitation force,and compared with a natural vibration wave.The noise distribution was obtained using the harmonic response.The results of the theoretical analysis,2D-FEM,2D-FFT,and harmonic response corroborate each other such that the motor applying CSDLSD winding could reduce both the vibration and noise.
