Induction Machines Handbook: Steady State Modeling and Performance offers a thorough treatment of steady-state induction machines (IM), the most used electric motor (generator) in rather constant or variable speed drives, forever lower energy consumption and higher productivity in basically all industries, from home appliances, through robotics to e-transport and wind energy conversion.
Chapter 1 offers a detailed introduction from fundamental principles to topological classifications and most important applications and power ranges from tens of W to tens of MW.
Then individual Chapters 2 and 4 deal in detail with specific issues, such as
Magnetic, electric, and insulation materials
Electric windings and their mmf
Magnetization curve and inductance
Leakage inductances and resistances
Steady-state equivalent circuit and performance
Starting and speed control methods
Skin and on-load saturation effects
Field harmonics, parasitic torques, radial forces, noise
Losses
Thermal modeling
Single-phase induction machine basics
Single-phase induction motors: steady-state modeling and performance
Fully revised and updated to reflect the last decade’s progress in the field, this third edition adds new sections, such as
Multiphase and multilayer tooth-wound coil windings
The brushless doubly fed induction machine (BDFIM)
Equivalent circuits for BDFIM
Control principles for doubly fed IM
Magnetic saturation effects on current and torque versus slip curves
Rotor leakage reactance saturation
Closed-slot IM saturation
The origin of electromagnetic vibration by practical experience
PM-assisted split-phase cage-rotor IM’s steady state
The promise of renewable (hydro and wind) energy via cage-rotor and doubly fed variable speed generators e-transport propulsion and i-home appliances makes this third edition a state-of-the-art tool, conceived with numerous case studies and timely for both academia and industry.
