Calculation of machine winding electrical parameters at high frequencies for switching transient studies

Abstract

This paper describes a multiconductor transmission line approach for calculating the machine winding electrical parameters for switching transient studies. The technique is based upon the solution of the one dimension diffusion equation in the slot of electrical machines. The coil electrical parameters are calculated considering both the magnetic flux in the iron and in the air. Several practical formulations for calculating the winding electrical parameter are proposed which take into account the machine winding design characteristics. The computer models are validated by a comparison of measured and calculated results in two high voltage induction motors.
