Alternating Current Multi-Circuit Electric Machines

Abstract

Asynchronous (induction) and synchronous machines are the most common alternating current (AC) electric machines. These electric machines are widely used in power generation, in the various systems of electrical drives, automation, control, etc. A classical design concept of the asynchronous and synchronous machines is characterized by the presence of a single winding on the stator and a single winding on the rotor. The stator and rotor of AC electric machines are usually made from laminated iron. If it is necessary to have improved operating conditions (for instance, improving starting characteristics), asynchronous machines can have two or three squirrel-cage type windings (asynchronous machines with the double or triple-cage rotors) on the rotor. A synchronous machine can be made with the field and damper windings used on the rotor. Sometimes a synchronous machine can have the field windings placed on both axes of the rotor.

The solid rotors produced from iron forging can be used for asynchronous and synchronous machines. An asynchronous machine with a solid rotor is usually used in high speed systems. The solid rotor is most widely used in high-power turbine generators and large synchronous high-speed electric motors. In electrical power engineering, high-power turbine generators play a paramount role (these electric machines produce the bulk of electrical energy), and they are the most common type of electric machines with a solid rotor.

In this work we consider both asynchronous machines with laminated and solid rotors and also synchronous machines with solid rotors (high-power turbine generators, high-speed large synchronous motors). More specifically, we recommend here a new approach for determining parameters describing the various asynchronous operations of these AC electric machines.
