5 COMPARISON OF ROTORS FOR 60 KW 60000 1 /MIN HIGH-SPEED MOTOR<br />

In this chapter, a copper coated solid steel rotor <strong>and</strong> two solid steel squirrel cage rotors are<br />

compared. The rotors were introduced in Sections 3.2 <strong>and</strong> 3.5. The solid steel squirrel cage rotors<br />

were designed to combine the mechanical properties <strong>of</strong> a solid steel rotor <strong>and</strong> the electromagnetic<br />

properties <strong>of</strong> a squirrel cage rotor. The comparison was made for a 60 kW 60000 1 /min motor. The<br />

tests were done having two identical motors coupled ‘back-to-back’ with a flexible coupler. The<br />

back-to-back test setup <strong>and</strong> the rotors tested are shown in Fig. 5.1.<br />

During the measurements, there was a specific opportunity to measure the rotor surface temperature<br />

on-line. The temperature was measured with an infrared camera via the cooling duct dividing the<br />

stator stack. Only the exhaust pipe <strong>of</strong> the cooling air had to be removed. This is done to the motor<br />

on the right in Fig. 5.1. The figure also shows a stripe <strong>of</strong> paint at the surface <strong>of</strong> the rotors, painted<br />

for the temperature measurement purposes.<br />
