Analysis of generically configured PSC induction machines

A multiple reference frame based model of a generically configured permanent split capacitor (PSC) induction machine is set forth. The model provides for the possibilities of asymmetrical winding arbitrary tapping of the main winding, and shifting of the auxiliary winding from the quadrature position. The model is valid for both steady-state and transient analysis, and features state variables which are constant in the steady-state. This feature makes the model readily linearizable for derivation of transfer functions. In addition, a procedure for estimation of the machine parameters based on standstill measurements is set forth. Finally, both the model and the parameter measurement scheme are verified experimentally.
