Dear All
Thanks for your replies . As i have heard the coefficient of linear expansion of aluminium is more than copper , hence the chances of fatigue failure is more in case of aluminium during operation .It is correct.We are using fabricated aluminium bar and short circuit ring rotor.
Dear All
Can anyone tell me disadvantages of using aluminium material instead of copper in rotor of squirrel cage induction motor.
Cost is one factor any other technical factor we should look.
As IEEE 43-2000(Cl no 12.2.2) says , If 1 min IR is greater than 5000Mega-Ohm then Polarization index may or may not be indication of insulation condition.
Can any one elaborate what is phenomena behind this.
