The application of inverter-fed drives provides additional electrical stresses in induction motors' insulation system. This is due to steep-fronted voltage pulses responsible for high overvoltages at the motor's input terminals and to an uneven voltage distribution along the windings. This article presents a model for the analysis and characterization of the internal voltage distribution and complex impedance in random wound coils. Experimental and theoretical results are presented using frequency response analysis (FRA) and model effectiveness using different approximations is studied. Finally, the frequency domain characterization will allow a time domain analysis, by means of inverse fast Fourier transform (iFFT).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
