A three-phase model for surge distribution studies in electrical machines

This paper describes a computer model for surge distribution studies in the winding of electrical machines. The computer model takes the coil as the basis for the analysis and uses multiconductor transmission line theory to obtain the transference matrix for the winding. Several practical formulations based on machine design characteristics are used for calculating electrical parameters. Flux penetration into the iron core and mutual coupling between coils in different_phase windings are incorporated into the analysis. The model was validated by a comparison of predicted and calculated results in a high voltage motor. Keywords: computer simulation, switching transients, surge distribution, electrical machines, electrical parameters.
