Permeance–Based Equivalent Circuit Modeling of Induction Machines Considering Leakage Reactances and Non–Linearities for Steady–State Performance Prediction

As a computationally efficient tool for the machine’s steady–state performance prediction, equivalent circuit model (ECM) of induction machines (IMs) has been an established option in literature. The results and performance predictions obtained from ECM are significantly affected by: (i) the leakage reactances as the function of the geometry of the machine’s rotor and stator slots (ii) the skin, proximity, and slotting effects and (iii) the …
