Induction Machines Handbook

Induction Machines Handbook: Transients, Control Principles, Design and Testing presents a practical up-to-date treatment of intricate issues with induction machines (IM) required for design and testing in both rather constant- and variable-speed (with power electronics) drives. It contains ready-to-use industrial design and testing knowledge, with numerous case studies to facilitate a thorough assimilation of new knowledge.

Individual Chapters 1 through 14 discuss in detail the following:

Three- and multiphase IM transients

Single-phase source IM transients

Super-high-frequency models and behavior of IM

Motor specifications and design principles

IM design below 100 kW and constant V1 and f1

IM design above 100 kW and constant V1 and f1

IM design principles for variable speed

Optimization design

Single-phase IM design

Three-phase IM generators

Single-phase IM generators

Linear induction motors

Testing of three-phase IMs

Single-phase IM testing

Fully revised and amply updated to add the new knowledge of the last decade, this third edition includes special sections on

Multiphase IM models for transients

Doubly fed IMs models for transients

Cage-rotor synchronized reluctance motors

Cage-rotor PM synchronous motor

Transient operation of self-excited induction generator

Brushless doubly fed induction motor/generators

Doubly fed induction generators with D.C. output

Linear induction motor control with end effect

Recent trends in IM testing with power electronics

Cage-PM rotor line-start IM testing

Linear induction motor (LIM) testing

This up-to-date book discusses in detail the transients, control principles, and design and testing of various IMs for line-start and variable-speed applications in various topologies, with numerous case studies. It will be of direct assistance to academia and industry in conceiving, designing, fabricating, and testing IMs (for the future) of various industries, from home appliances, through robotics, e-transport, and renewable energy conversion.
