Thermal-Impact-Based Protection of Induction Motors Under Voltage Unbalance Conditions

Voltage unbalance and mechanical overload generate negative effects on induction motors, producing thermal damages in the stator insulation and a reduction of the motor lifetime. In this regard, the development of protection devices is crucial as they can help to maintain the integrity of the motor and avoid irreversible damages such as insulation system breakdown, short-circuits, and so on. In th...
