Induction Machines Handbook

Induction Machines Handbook: Transients, Control Principles, Design and Testing presents a practical up-to-date treatment of intricate issues with induction machines (IM) required for design and testing in both rather constant- and variable-speed (with power electronics) drives. It contains ready-to-use industrial design and testing knowledge, with numerous case studies to facilitate a thorough assimilation of new knowledge.Individual Chapters 1 through 14 discuss in detail the following:Three- and multiphase IM transientsSingle-phase source IM transientsSuper-high-frequency models and behavior of IMMotor specifications and design principlesIM design below 100 kW and constant V1 and f1IM design above 100 kW and constant V1 and f1IM design principles for variable speedOptimization designSingle-phase IM designThree-phase IM generatorsSingle-phase IM generatorsLinear induction motorsTesting of three-phase IMsSingle-phase IM testingFully revised and amply updated to add the new knowledge of the last decade, this third edition includes special sections onMultiphase IM models for transientsDoubly fed IMs models for transientsCage-rotor synchronized reluctance motorsCage-rotor PM synchronous motorTransient operation of self-excited induction generatorBrushless doubly fed induction motor/generatorsDoubly fed induction generators with D.C. outputLinear induction motor control with end effectRecent trends in IM testing with power electronicsCage-PM rotor line-start IM testingLinear induction motor (LIM) testingThis up-to-date book discusses in detail the transients, control principles, and design and testing of various IMs for line-start and variable-speed applications in various topologies, with numerous case studies. It will be of direct assistance to academia and industry in conceiving, designing, fabricating, and testing IMs (for the future) of various industries, from home appliances, through robotics, e-transport, and renewable energy conversion.
