Three-Dimension Finite Element Analysis of a Helical Motion Induction Motor
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper presents a three-dimensional finite element analysis applicable to all forms of sheet rotor, cylindrical, linear induction motor, as well as, helical motion induction motor. The analysis accounts for longitudinal and transverse end effects, skin depth and finite sheet thickness; furthermore, there is practically no restriction on the shape of magnetic circuit that can be considered. It yields detailed space profile of the state variables. The winding arrangement may include multi-polar system circumferentially and axially. The excitation produced by such winding is a helically traveling wave. The formulation results in a set of linear equations which are solved by point relaxation method. The solution algorithm employs power mismatch in the machine to indicate accuracy. The theory is supported by experimental results. Index Terms AC machines, finite element methods, induction motors, numerical analysis.
