Análise comportamental de um motor trifásico quando acoplado a um elevador de canecas

Abstract

In the industrial sector, responsible for much of the energy consumption generated in the world, electric motors are recurrent. Although they have a good income, they are also the ones who spend the most. In times of searching for increasingly efficient processes, it is essential to understand the behavior of these engines in practice, making possible to know how to work with them in the field. During engineering courses, students usually study the behavior of three phase induction motors without load - which, in practice, will not be found in actual situations throughout the profession. In order to understand the real behavior of these engines, this work had as main objective the construction of a small scale bucket elevator, which represents different types of mechanical loads. With the development of this work, it was also possible to verify the behavior of a three-phase induction motor when subjected to unbalanced mechanical loads.
