Utilizing cable winding and industrial robots to facilitate the manufacturing of electric machines

Cable wound electric machines are used mainly for high voltage and direct-drive applications. They can be found in areas such as wind power, hydropower, wave power and high-voltage motors. Compared to conventional winding techniques, cable winding includes fewer manufacturing steps and is therefore likely to be better suited for automated production. Automation of the cable winding production s...

New Cost Effective Concentrated Winding Topolology for Induction Machines

Recently, the industry is more and more interested in fractional slot concentrated windings (FSCW), because of many advantages such as high power density and low manufacturing costs. Novel FSCWs often consist of several winding systems. This structure allows the creation of good MMF distributions with low space harmonic contents and reduces undesirable side effects, such as localized core satur...

Transient Model for Induction Machines With Stator Winding Turn Faults

A transient model for an induction machine with stator winding turn faults is derived using reference frame transformation theory. A state-space representation of the dynamic equations, suitable for digital simulation is provided. Steady-state equivalent circuits are derived, from which the sequence components of the line currents can be estimated as a function of fault severity. Experimental r...
