The
SymmetricPolyphaseWinding model shown in Fig. 1 has an electric
circuit with m phase currents and voltages and a
magnetic circuit with the phasors representing the fundamental wave
of magnetic potential and magnetic flux.

The electric circuit models consists of the (temperature
dependent) resistances of the m phases and the zero
inductance, i.e., induced voltages caused by the derivative of the
sum of all phase currents (in case the sum of the currents is not
zero).
The
PolyphaseElectroMagneticConverter calculates the magnetic
voltages (MMF) caused by the currents of the m phases
according to the spatial orientation of the phases. To complete the
coupling, the induced voltages caused by the derivative of magentic
flux are calculated, again according to the spatial orientation of
the phases.
The magnetic circuit models individual and common stray (leakage) flux as well as core loss. Note that up to now only the eddy current loss is taken into account, since the hysteresis loss require the detection of the re-magnetization frequency.
Individual and common stray field (leakage) is modeled as
permeances (see Fig. 1): The parameter 0 ≤
ratioCommonLeakage ≤ 1 describes the discrimination in
common and individual stray field. Note that for
ratioCommonLeakage > 1 - eps the individual part is
conditionally removed, whereas for ratioCommonLeakage <
eps the common part is conditionally removed.
Note that for machines with three
phases and for quasi-static
machines the parameter ratioCommonLeakage has no
influence. Feeding polyphase machines with more than three phases
by switching power electronics, this discrimination is essential.
Therefore the split stray field representation is only modeled in
the FundamentalWave
library.
The parameter ratioCommonLeakage has a default of
1, which is perfectly backwards compatible.
For a model with ratioCommonLeakage < 1 - eps
(including individual stray inductances) typically more states have
to be initialized than for a model with ratioCommonLeakage =
1 (without individual stray inductances). See: initial
equation section of example
IMC_DOL_CommonLeakage, which compares the behaviour of three
identical machines except ratioCommonLeakage={0, 0.5,
1}.
