Induction motors with conventional organic insulation are used at technological plants designed for recycling nuclear fuel waste of nuclear power stations. In the nuclear radiation environment, the service life of these asynchronous motors does not typically exceed 3-4 months as the winding insulation is destructed being exposed to nuclear radiation. This results in costs increase. To prolong the motor service life and reduce the costs, a valve-inductor-type motor is being developed for this application field due to a simple construction of the stator windings and the feasibility of using non-organic insulation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
