the 2 hp machine operating under rated condition, Figure 6.3 shows the field plots<br />

obtained from the Finite Element Analysis in which magnetic circuit saturation has been<br />

accounted for. The Spectrums <strong>of</strong> the field plots have been given in Figure 6.3, in which<br />

the harmonic components are small. Apart from the slot harmonics, the domin<strong>an</strong>t<br />

components <strong>of</strong> the air-gap <strong>an</strong>d <strong>stator</strong> core flux densities are due to the P 1 <strong>an</strong>d P 2 pole<br />

numbers.<br />

Figure 6.4(a) gives the experimental waveforms <strong>of</strong> the no-load induced air-gap<br />

voltages obtained from <strong>an</strong> experimental machine using a 2-pole search coil when the two<br />

<strong>stator</strong> <strong>winding</strong> sets <strong>an</strong>d when only one <strong>of</strong> the three-phase <strong>winding</strong>s are connected to the<br />

voltage source(s). The machine main flux is saturated <strong>an</strong>d the Volts/Hz for each <strong>winding</strong><br />

set is kept the same while the supply frequencies are in the ratio <strong>of</strong> 1:3. The Fourier series<br />

<strong>of</strong> the induced voltages displayed in Figure 6.4(b) suggest the presence <strong>of</strong> the<br />

fundamental components in addition to the 5th <strong>an</strong>d 7th harmonics. The slight ch<strong>an</strong>ge in<br />

the magnitude <strong>of</strong> the third harmonic component when the two <strong>winding</strong>s <strong>an</strong>d when the six-<br />

pole <strong>winding</strong> alone are powered may be due to the inter-<strong>winding</strong> saturation induced<br />

voltages. Figure 6.4(c) gives the increased saturation voltage induced on the 6-pole<br />

<strong>winding</strong> with variation <strong>of</strong> the 2-pole <strong>winding</strong> voltage under no-load condition. The<br />

magnitude is however reduced when the two <strong>stator</strong> <strong>winding</strong> sets are voltage fed.<br />

In Figure 6.5, the induced air-gap voltages for three loading conditions are shown for<br />

the same input voltages applied in Figure 6.4. It would appear that the rotor MMFs under<br />

load tend to reduce the magnitudes <strong>of</strong> the components <strong>of</strong> the air-gap flux densities as the<br />

load increases.<br />
