Abstract

Electric machines cover an extremely wide range of power ratings, from 1 mW (\(10^{-3}\) W) or less, to 1 GW (\(10^{9}\) W), which is a ratio of \(1:10^{12}\). The power range of 1 kW may be considered as the boundary between small and large machines.

Notes

  1. 1.

    This is the result of scaling laws.

  2. 2.

    The two-phase symmetrical components transformation is similar to the three-phase one, but instead of \(a=\exp (j2\pi /3)\) we now have \(a=\exp (j\pi /2)=j\)).

  3. 3.

    It is trapezoidal if there is a distributed winding with \(q>1\); for a concentrated winding, the emf also has a block shape.

  4. 4.

    Prove this.

  5. 5.

    In the URS, the PM excitation is supposed to be along the negative d-axis, which corresponds to a rotor emf along the positive q-axis.
