Overview
Three-phase induction motors are widely used in pump systems, including submersible pumps, due to their robustness, efficiency, and simplicity of operation. These motors operate on a rotating magnetic field principle, making them well-suited for continuous-duty applications such as water supply, irrigation, sewage, and industrial fluid transport.
In submersible pumps, the motor is hermetically sealed and designed to operate underwater, offering reliable performance in challenging environments. Overall, three-phase induction motors are a dependable and cost-effective choice for both surface-mounted and submersible pumping systems.
This session provides a focused guide on how to model a 3-phase induction motor for pumps system environments using Ansys tools. Techniques for coupling electromagnetic results with thermal and mechanical models ensure durability and performance under continuous or cyclic loading.
