%0 Journal Article %T Squirrel cage induction motors with idle bars %A Jakub Bernatt %J Archives of Electrical Engineering %D 2010 %I %R 10.2478/s10171-010-0006-z %X The paper describes high output induction motors driving large applications of heavy starting conditions. Heavy start is characterised by long accelerating time and occures in drives of hudge inertia torque, esspecially when performed at full load. The reliable operation of the motors depends on proper design and quality of rotor's cage. The aspects of thermal behaviour and electrodynamic forces have to be considered during the design of the motor for hard working conditions. In the paper the rotor with idle bars is investigated. %K induction motor %K squirrel cage %K idle bar %K hard working conditions %U http://versita.metapress.com/content/d3n86380745843x2/?p=ddbed828c7cb4bf0b093acd40fb336c5&pi=5
