State-of-the-art overload relays for medium voltage induction motors utilize a simple thermal model and embedded temperature sensors for the thermal protection. However, this model is too conservative and not robust to changes in the motorpsilas cooling capability. This paper reviews thermal model-based approaches and parameter-based approaches to estimate the motor temperature. Each of these general...
This paper proposes a sensorless rotor temperature estimator for small- to medium-sized mains-fed induction machines. With measurements obtained only from voltage and current sensors, the proposed estimator can capture the rotor temperature online. The rotor speed is first extracted from the stator current harmonic spectrum based on the estimated rotor slot and eccentricity harmonic frequencies. Then...
This paper proposes a cascading motor parameter estimation scheme to obtain an online estimate of the rotor temperature for a small to medium size mains-fed induction machine. The stator winding resistance at ambient temperature is the only motor parameter needed as an input. First the inductances are estimated according to the equivalent circuit developed from the rotor flux field orientation. Then...
Thermal models are often used in motor overload protection relays to predict rotor temperature. Under impaired cooling conditions, the parameters in the thermal models need to be tuned accordingly to reflect changes in the motor cooling capability. The tuning process requires accurate rotor temperature as a reference signal. This reference signal is estimated from the rotor resistance based on the...
