abstract
The performance of multiphase concentrated winding induction machines specifically designed for operation with static power converters is described. The winding distributions are intentionally rectangular to better accommodate the rectangular wave forms of solid state inverters. Fourier analysis is used for investigation of the effects of different airgap field spatial distributions and time harmonics in the supply. The approach to analysis of such machines, derived in Part 1, is implemented by means of a digital computer simulation. Computed results indicate that when operating in conjunction with a converter supply, a specially wound five phase machine is theoretically capable of a 10% improvement in torque per rms ampere assuming the same peak airgap flux density level in the airgap of the machine as in a conventionally designed induction motor of the same rating. 1991 IEEE
