摘要

This paper proposes a new stray-load loss (SLL) formula for small and medium induction motors (IMs) based on tests data of a 182, 60 Hz IMs in the range of 1-500 hp (0.75-375 kW). They are all tested in accordance with IEEE Std 112-Method B. The proposed formula is validated by recalculating the efficiency of the same number of motors by using the proposed formula, as well as the IEEE Std 112 and the IEC 60034-2-1 standards. Another validation was done on testing 17 additional IMs that are independent of the 182-motor data. In both validations, the new formula demonstrates better accuracy. This formula shows the potential to replace the existing SLL estimation formula for this horsepower range.
