5A design procedure for the Brushless Doubly Fed machine is based on equations derived from a simplified equivalent circuit.
6The method allows the many variables in the design of this machine to be handled in straightforward way. Relationships are 7 given for the division of slot area between the two stator windings and for the design of the magnetic circuit. The design method 8 is applied to a frame size 180 machine. In particular, calculated values for flux densities in the machine have been verified by 9 time stepping finite element analysis for actual operating conditions. The approach outlined can also be used as part of a design 10 optimization routine.
