AC Distributed Winding with Low Higher Spatial Harmonics Content in Mmf Distribution.

This paper presents a new winding with a low higher spatial harmonics content. This winding enables the elimination of the fifth harmonic, as the most significant, in three-phase winding and the third harmonic in two-phase symmetrical winding. The suppression of higher spatial harmonics is particularly evident with the number of slots per pole per phase q_s = 2. The winding factors for the higher spatial harmonics of the order ν = 6 k ± 1 in the case of three-phase winding, and ν = 4 k ± 1 in the case of two-phase winding, for k = 1, 3, 5, ..., will be equal to zero. A two-phase measurement winding, with the number of slots per pole per phase q_s = 1, was used to evaluate the higher spatial harmonics content in the magnetic field in the air gap of the machine. Experimental verification of the designed winding was carried out. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
