4.2.2 Input current<br />
A lower input current indicates lower magnetization current <strong>and</strong> better efficiency at partial loads. A<br />
smaller frequency converter could be selected in some cases. Because the resistive loss in the stator<br />
winding is the main loss component to determine the temperature rise in the winding, the input<br />
current <strong>and</strong> the temperature rise are assumed to go h<strong>and</strong> in h<strong>and</strong>.<br />
This can be seen in Fig. 4.5, which shows that the input current <strong>of</strong> the laminated rotor is 11 per cent<br />
lower at the input power <strong>of</strong> 65 kW. The difference is over 50 per cent at no-load. Thus, the<br />
laminated rotor is superior to the copper coated rotor in this respect. This is mainly due to a smaller<br />
air gap in the case <strong>of</strong> the laminated rotor as stated in Section 3.4.<br />
4.2.3 Slip <strong>of</strong> the rotor<br />
The slip <strong>of</strong> the rotor was chosen as a third characteristic for the comparison. The slip s does not<br />
relate to the total loss <strong>of</strong> the rotor but it gives the minimum load loss Ptl needed to produce the<br />
electromechanical power Pm from the airgap power Pδ. The operation principle <strong>of</strong> an induction<br />
machine dictates that the loss related to the torque producing components <strong>of</strong> power is the air gap<br />
power times the slip:<br />

where Ωm <strong>and</strong> Ωs are the mechanical <strong>and</strong> synchronous speeds <strong>of</strong> the rotor. Ptl is a resistive loss<br />
mainly generated in the copper coating or in the squirrel cage. The slip depends on the impedance<br />
<strong>of</strong> the rotor. The smaller the impedance or resistance, the smaller the slip <strong>and</strong> the load loss Ptl:<br />

Fig. 4.6 shows that the comparison <strong>of</strong> slip goes against the laminated rotor. At the input power <strong>of</strong> 65<br />
kW, the slip <strong>of</strong> the laminated rotor is 52 % higher than the slip <strong>of</strong> the copper coated rotor. The rotor<br />
current in the laminated rotor seems to face a higher resistance. The amount <strong>of</strong> copper in the rotor<br />
cross section was the same in both <strong>of</strong> the rotors, but there was 27 per cent less copper at the end<br />
rings <strong>of</strong> the laminated rotor.
