This paper deals with medium frequency resonance effects in electrical machine windings, which can be excited by harmonic components of voltage source converters. The topic is getting more and more relevant with steadily increasing switching frequencies. For squirrel-cage induction machines with form-wound coils an algorithm is presented, which allows the prediction of first machine differential mode resonance frequencies already at design stage. Examples of the experimental model verification and interpretation of resonance frequencies complete the article.
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.
