Investigation on the Effects of Magnetic Saturation in Six-Phase Induction Machines with and without Cross Saturation of the Main Flux Path

The operational characteristics during transients are significantly influenced by magnetic saturation in electrical equipment. For the computation of steady-state rated operation multiphase induction machines, assumption linear behavior iron core classical machine models may be sufficient. mathematical considered differ terms existence or absence dynamic cross-saturation effects. approach that is most frequently used to examine impact based on state-space variable representation model axes (d–q). purpose this research investigate effects six-phase machines. In study, a d–q transformation-based (SPIM), including effect, developed. and common mutual leakage inductance between two sets stators’ windings then developed analyzed, were simulated results compared with without cross-saturation. main flux saturation, as well coupling windings, all accounted for model, which vector space decomposition method. A significant increase currents voltage from highly saturated paths fluxes order cross-saturation, inductances computed using analytical methods those taking into consideration compared. These outcomes transformed condensed current depending parameter functions transient models.
