Abstract:Traditional electric machine design requiring the balancing of the phases both in phase voltage magnitudes and the angles between adjacent phases informs that the number of stator slots per phase must be an integer. There are situations however, where it is cheaper to use existing laminations for designs with non-integer number of slots per phase to build generators for specialized applications especially for DC power. In such cases a multi-phase design ensures a measure of fault tolerance and the unbalances i… Show more
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.
