A squirrel-cage rotor and a production method thereof, the rotor having conductors with sufficient strength. In the invention, conductor particles are sprayed onto a core and/or conductive bars in a solid-state. As a result, in the coating material, the enlargement of the crystal grain of the conductors is significantly restricted, whereby conductive end rings are connected to the core and/or the conductive bars. Since conductor particles do not melt, a gap formed by thermal contraction when the conductor melts between different kinds of members is prevented from being formed. Therefore, the deterioration of the conductor may be limited, and the conductor may have sufficient strength. The reliability of the rotor is improved.

Squirrel-cage rotor and production method thereof

A squirrel-cage rotor includes a rotor core formed having a plurality of slots, a plurality of conductor bars inserted into the slots respectively and made of copper or copper alloy, two conductor end rings joined to the plurality of conductor bars on both end faces of the rotor core and made of copper or copper alloy and a reinforcing-member end ring attached to at least one of the conductor end rings and made of material having a specific strength greater than that of either copper or copper alloy. The plurality of conductor bars are arranged so as to extend through the conductor end rings and the reinforcing-member end ring. Consequently, the rotor can be manufactured by any manufacturing method but die-casting. Further, the conductor end rings can be reinforced with an easily-obtainable material and additionally, the junction of conductor end rings can be easily viewed from an outside.

Windings of each phase in a three-phase AC motor are independent of one another. A motor control unit gives, to windings of each phase (U, V and W-phase), currents (IU, IV, IW) obtained by adding, to a fundamental sine wave current, a current having a frequency which is three times as high as that of the fundamental sine wave current. That is,&#xb7;sin &#x3c9;&#xb7;sin 3&#x3c9;&#xb7;sin(&#x3c9;+2/3&#x3c0;)+&#xb7;sin 3&#x3c9;&#xb7;sin(&#x3c9;+4/3&#x3c0;)+&#xb7;sin 3&#x3c9;Also, amplitude Ia of a current having a frequency which is three times as high as that of the fundamental sine wave current is set to a predetermined value smaller than amplitude I of the fundamental sine wave current.

Motor control unit

An induction motor capable of obtaining a high power characteristic in a wide range without producing induced voltage. A winding for each phase is composed of a plurality of winding components having the same number of turns. When high torque is needed with low speed rotation, a Y-connection in which winding components for each phase are connected in series is formed as shown in FIG.,. For medium low speed rotation, a &Dgr;-connection in which winding components for each phase are connected in series is formed as shown in FIG.,. For medium high speed rotation, a Y-connection in which winding components for each phase are connected in parallel is formed as shown in FIG.,. For high speed rotation, a &agr;-connection in which winding components for each phase are connected in parallel is formed as shown in FIG.,. Using the entire winding for each phase, the number of turns is decreased stage by stage to switch from low speed rotation to high speed rotation. Since there is no unused part of windings, there is no problem of induced voltage. A fall in power at the time of switching the winding formation can be restrained, so that a high power characteristic can be obtained in a wide range.
