Study of Propagation Phenomena in Three-Phase Form Wound Machines Operating at Medium and High Frequency

A three-phase model of asynchronous machines operating at medium or high frequencies is presented. It can be used to study the propagation of surge waves along the stator windings of induction form wound machines. The model is derived from an analogy with a three-phase transmission line. The use of time-space Clarke vectors allows the introduction of mutual coupling between phases. The analytical expressions for voltage waves are derived by means of the Laplace approach to the solution of hyperbolic partial differential equations. Some applicative examples confirm the model validity and can underline some aspects of the project of three-phase winding
