Single-phase induction motors remain popular for domestic appliances like refrigerator compressors, where simplicity, cost-effectiveness, and reliability are key. However, accurately modeling these motors presents unique challenges due to their asymmetric winding structure and starting mechanisms.
This session offers a practical introduction to modeling single-phase induction motors, focusing on their use in compressor applications. A case study highlights the complete modeling workflow of a typical hermetic compressor motor, from initial geometry setup to system-level validation.
This talk is aimed at engineers and engineering managers looking to gain hands-on insights into building robust, simulation-ready models for 1-phase induction motors, helping to enhance design accuracy and optimize energy efficiency in domestic cooling systems.
