PLRS LVE Motor de inducción no simétrico, componentes simétricos. NTRODTON ndisputably, one of the most powerful method for the analysis of the electrical machines under conditions of unbalanced voltage supply is the method of symmetrical components, invented by.l. Fortescue., This method is widely used in the analysis of unbalanced static networks, but it is most appropriate for the analysis of symmetrical machines during unbalanced operations. Fortescue s method has been extended by different authors,,4,5,6 to cover certain types of single-phase motors. The basis of the symmetrical component method is to split the single system of unbalanced voltages into two or more independent 48 ngenierías, bril-junio 7, Vol. X, No. 5

This paper presents an application of the method of symmetrical components in a more general case than in those presented in technical literature. This application brings up the issue of a three-phase induction motor with unsymmetrical stator phases, supplied by a three-phase system of unbalanced voltages. The paper includes the calculation of the symmetrical components of positive, negative and zero sequence current and voltages, and the determination of the symmetrical components of motor impedances.

ONLSONS The paper analyses the general case of the three-phase induction motor with unsymmetrical stator windings supplied by three-phase unbalanced voltages. The analyzed motor has a symmetrical cage in the rotor. y using the known method of symmetrical components it has been analyzed the unbalanced voltage system. The expressions of the symmetrical components of supplying currents and voltages have been established. ased on these symmetrical components, the expressions of the positive, negative and zero sequence impedances of the motor have been obtained. Such impedances represent three fictitious symmetrical motors supplied with positive, negative and zero sequence currents and voltages. y particularization of the elaborated mathematical expressions, the known cases of formulas and equivalent circuits in steady-state conditions have been finally obtained. Therefore, it is demonstrated that the best three-phase induction machine is the symmetrical one. The obtained results allow the analysis of the influence of certain unsymmetrical stator windings on the squirrel-cage induction motor performances in steady-state conditions. REFERENES..L.
