“…In general, different features about I M-3ϕ-SC have been mentioned or shown in diverse documents, for example,: (a) the decay of I M-3ϕ-SC is faster in smaller motors [8]; (b) the decay of I AC can be faster than the decay of I DC , and I M-3ϕ-SC can tend to be similar to a decaying DC current when I AC disappears [4,9,10]; (c) I M-3ϕ-SC is not necessarily in phase with the contribution from the grid [11]; (d) the leakage reactance related to I M-3ϕ-SC is considerably lower than the value during normal load conditions [12,13]; (e) the total reactance related to I M-3ϕ-SC is similar to the value during start conditions [7,14]; (f) there is a change of electrical torque in the motor axis due to I M-3ϕ-SC [10,15]; (g) I M-3ϕ-SC is dependent on the number of pole pairs [4,7,16]. Even though the traditional procedures to compute I M-3ϕ-SC are based on phasors [1,7,14,[17][18][19], it is necessary to emphasise that the waveforms of these currents are not sinusoidal. An objective of this article is to complement this disperse information about I M-3ϕ-SC with the results of a detailed analysis of experimental oscillograms and transient simulations.…”
