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 transients
Single-phase source IM transients
Super-high-frequency models and behavior of IM
Motor specifications and design principles
IM design below 100 kW and constant V1 and f1
IM design above 100 kW and constant V1 and f1
IM design principles for variable speed
Optimization design
Single-phase IM design
Three-phase IM generators
Single-phase IM generators
Linear induction motors
Testing of three-phase IMs
Single-phase IM testing
Fully revised and amply updated to add the new knowledge of the last decade, this third edition includes special sections on
Multiphase IM models for transients
Doubly fed IMs models for transients
Cage-rotor synchronized reluctance motors
Cage-rotor PM synchronous motor
Transient operation of self-excited induction generator
Brushless doubly fed induction motor/generators
Doubly fed induction generators with D.C. output
Linear induction motor control with end effect
Recent trends in IM testing with power electronics
Cage-PM rotor line-start IM testing
Linear induction motor (LIM) testing
This 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.
