Induction motors are used for many industrial purposes. They can act as electrical drives for many processes in many production processes. This paper will focus on how to improve the efficiency of these motors-3 phase squirrel cage induction motor (SCIM) in order to save electrical energy. This is because it has been experimentally observed that the efficiency of the induction motors is poor with low load conditions, hence more energy is wasted. We will be looking at the various losses in the

... duction motor. Also the paper will sample some methods like the conventional methods and the fuzzy logic approach as used in maximizing/optimizing the efficiency of the induction motors. We shall also sample results from simulations that prove show how the efficiency is maximized by adjusting the input voltage.
