Geometry Investigation of L.R.S. Synchronous Machines Using FEM

Abstract

In this paper a geometry investigation of low rotational speed synchronous machines using finite element method is presented. The abovementioned investigation is accomplished using a two step design procedure for salient poles synchronous machines, while a respective example which will be shown synoptically is an under scale design of a low rotational salient pole synchronous motor connected to a ships propeller axis directly.Keywords: Geometry investigation, ships electric propulsion, finite element method, synchronous motor.
