Dynamics of AC electrical machines

Abstract

The concepts of natural frequency, critical speed, excitation, mechanical resonance, damping, torsional excitation, torsional critical speeds, unbalanced magnetic pull, and magnetic instability are defined and placed in context. The author seeks to encourage the use of technically justified words and phrases in the technical literature. The article is presented in a context of a technical survey and a tutorial.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
