Abstract

The effect of winding chording on five-phase synchronous reluctance motor (SRM) modelled in phase variables is presented. The stator winding configuration is shifted a pole pitch from a full-pitch configuration to a 54 degrees over-full-pitched configuration incorporating the effect of 3rd harmonic of the air-gap magneto-motive force in the inductance equations. The models are monitored on starting, synchronism, loading, faults and loss of synchronism. These are considered simultaneously with vector potential, rotor speed, air-gap flux linkage and winding current. The phase variable (analytical) models have been simulated by using MATLAB/Simulink software while ANSYS Maxwell software has been used to simulate the finite element model (FEM) of the motor for corresponding chording ranges for comparison on direct online starting (DOL). Under all conditions considered in the work, the detailed results are presented and very close similarity is observed between the analytical and the nearly ideal FEM model for all chording ranges and the similarity is enhanced with increase in chording angle.
