Title: Higher harmonic airgap inductances are what you might expect:
1Higher harmonic air-gap inductances are what you
might expect
And there are equivalent leakage reactances for
the harmonic orders
2And the equivalent resistances are
Note that these resistances are calculated at the
right harmonic frequencies
Involved slips are
And this turns into electromagnetic energy
conversion
3Back to fundementals note that slot impedance is
most important here. If the slot is deep
Which evaluates to
4Which leads us to the arbitrary slot model (this
is current research)
What we do is to break the slot up into a
(sometimes large) number of slices vertically
5Current in one of those layers would be
Reactance of that layer is
And resistance
This leads to an equivalent circuit
6It is necessary, in most cases. To correct for
end ring resistance
7Speed Control Note that flux is the ratio of
voltage to current. We would expect constant flux
control might be a way of controlling an
induction motor. Start by ignoring stator
resistajce
This can be reduced to a simple equivalent
8Current and torque are found (quite simply) to be
Defining slip and voltage with respect to base
quantities
We find torque with respect to an absolute slip
9Above that base speed assume constant voltage
