In this work, a large-scale Brushless Doubly Fed Machine (BDFM) built in frame size D400 is tested at different operating conditions in order to examine its noise and vibration levels. A series of measurements were conducted on the machine to establish the main modes of excitation of vibration and noise developed by the machine. The harmonic spectrums of the vibration amplitudes are presented at two different rotor speeds at which the vibration level is highest, in order to determine the vibration components frequencies existed in the vibration spectrum. A harmonic analysis of the BDFM is then proposed in order to assess the sources of vibration in the machine.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
