Mathematical modeling of the asynchronous motors for underwater vehicle drives

Abstract

This paper approaches the mathematical modeling of the submersible asynchronous motor filled with MASUM dielectric liquid. These motors are used to drive submarine robots, which are guided through cables from the surface of the water. We described the necessity and the types of submersible motors. Later we presented the construction of the specialized asynchronous motor MASUM-10. The proposed mathematical model is designed considering the influence of the long supply cables, and hydraulic losses caused by the rotation in dielectric liquid, which fills the motor. The results of the computer simulation of mathematical model prove the functionality of the motor, and highlight the problems caused by the long supply cable.
