• ### Method of detecting and modelling presence of shorted turns in DC field winding of cylindrical rotor synchronous machines using two airgap search coils

Publication Year: 1988, Page(s):281 - 294

| | PDF (1462 KB)

A method is described for detecting the loss of one or more turns in a concentric coil of the rotor field winding of a synchronous machine using two search coils in the airgap. This back-to-back method yields an EMF proportional to the rate of change of the missingÂ¿ flux linking the search coils, and is sufficiently sensitive for the coils to be positioned close to the stator surface. A two-dime... View full abstract»

• ### Coupling of discharge currents between conductors of electrical machines owing to laminated steel core

Publication Year: 1988, Page(s):295 - 307
Cited by:  Papers (19)
| | PDF (1454 KB)

Over the past few years, a number of techniques have evolved for detecting discharges in the insulation systems of electrical machines by measuring the discharge currents flowing at the machine terminals. The propagation of these currents through the winding, from the discharge site to the terminals, is influenced by the capacitive and inductive coupling between the conductors of the winding. The ...

• ### Stability limits for dynamic operation of variable reluctance stepping motor systems

Publication Year: 1988, Page(s):308 - 317
Cited by:  Papers (2)
| | PDF (1021 KB)

Using the simplified approach to the dynamic modelling of a variable reluctance step ping motor system developed in a companion paper [1], this paper develops dimensionless pull out torque curves and stability limits. These curves can be used to optimise system performance and allow the effects of variations in system parameters to be appreciated. View full abstract»

• ### Performance of split-coil switched reluctance drive

Publication Year: 1988, Page(s):318 - 323
Cited by:  Papers (14)
| | PDF (626 KB)

The concept of a split coil switched reluctance motor (SSWR) drive is introduced. This motor results from the separation of the phase coils of a conventional switched reluctance motor (SWR) into two halves. Excitation requirements for the SSWR motor are met by providing one half of the phase winding with a DC current, the other half being connected to a bipolar drive stage. Experimental results in...

• ### New improved modulation method for a cycloconvertor driving an induction motor

Publication Year: 1988, Page(s):324 - 333
Cited by:  Papers (6)
| | PDF (1449 KB)

This paper describes new modulation techniques that remove all the major limitations of the noncirculating current cycloconvertor, including low maximum frequency, subharmonics, poor bank crossover timing, and distortion due to discontinuous current, when used to drive an induction motor. The new modulation techniques work by keeping the flux in the induction motor (sensed by voltage feedback) as ... View full abstract»

• ### Physical significance of sub-subtransient quantities in dynamic behaviour of synchronous machines

Publication Year: 1988, Page(s):334 - 340
Cited by:  Papers (20)
| | PDF (727 KB)

The recent accurate modelling of alternating-current machines sometimes requires, in addition to the known transient and sub-transient quantities, the use of sub-subtransient quantities. The sub-subtransient time constants are very small; they can, however, have a great influence on the machine performance. The physical meaning of these new sub-subtransient quantities for the stability and switch-... View full abstract»

• ### Characteristics and optimal design of variable airgap linear force motors

Publication Year: 1988, Page(s):341 - 345
| | PDF (562 KB)

An analytical model for predicting the characteristics of variable airgap linear force motors is developed. The model takes into account magnetic losses, including the leakage and fringing effects, and the reluctance existing at the contacts between permanent magnets and polepieces. The model is validated by comparing its predicted characteristics with the results obtained from experiments and a f... View full abstract»

• ### Flat-top windows for PWM waveform processing via DFT

Publication Year: 1988, Page(s):346 - 361
Cited by:  Papers (32)
| | PDF (1694 KB)

New flat-top windows by which per forming the measurement of the parameters that characterise periodic signals are presented. It is shown how, by applying these windows in the frequency domain beyond the FFT, the negative effects of both the spectral leakage and the harmonic interference are reduced without employing interpolation algorithms. The high accuracy of the results is confirmed by an err... View full abstract»

• ### 3-phase voltage sourced reversible rectifier

Publication Year: 1988, Page(s):362 - 370
Cited by:  Papers (44)
| | PDF (1166 KB)

A voltage sourced reversible rectifier (VSRR) which achieves bidirectional power flow between a 3-phase AC supply and a DC bus voltage is described. The device features a pulse width modulated voltage control strategy that confines unwanted harmonics to known frequency bands where they can be easily filtered out while operating at near unity power factor, with sinusoidal currents, and maintaining ...

• ### Influence of rotor currents on end-winding forces in cage motor

Publication Year: 1988, Page(s):371 - 379
Cited by:  Papers (4)
| | PDF (953 KB)

The paper proposes a simple model that enables the influence of rotor currents to be included in the calculation of the electromagnetic forces acting on the end windings of cage induction motors, using the BiotÂ¿Savart method. The inclusion of the rotor currents is shown to have greatest influence close to core, where the end-region fields are also highest. The validity of the model is established... View full abstract»
