3-F Induction Machine

Abstract

This 3-F Induction Machine (3FIM) was designed, constructed, and evaluated its operating performance as an Arc welding machine, engine starter for stationary engines, and battery charger for storage batteries. Engineers, professors, trainers, assessors, and technicians from Welding, Automotive, and Mechanical served as the technical experts. Results revealed an excellent performance according to the set parameters by producing excitation or quiescent power and less energy consumption, conforming to the industry's standards. Furthermore, experts suggested making it lightweight for commercial use. Hence, the machine translates significant savings in large transformer applications such as industrial controls if used on a bigger scale.
