Contents

The paper presents a new algorithmic method of designing fractional-slot windings for AC machines of the double and single layer type. The method allows to design windings with a small number of slots per pole and phase, and then to analyse their MMF harmonic spectra in a simple systematic way and to optimise the construction. The presented method comprises not only 3-phase, but alsom-phase windings, which in the case of compact converter-motor units are quite applicable.

Übersicht

Im Aufsatz wird eine neue algorithmische Methode zum Entwurf der Bruchlochwicklungen von Wechselstrommaschinen mit Ein- und Zweischichtwicklung dargestellt. Diese Methode ermöglicht den Entwurf von Wicklungen mit kleiner Nutzahl pro Pol und Phase, und sie dient zur Analyse des Spektrums der magnetischen Durchflutung bei diesen Wicklungen. Die Methode erfaßt nicht nur dreiphasige, sondern allgemein mehrphasige Wicklungen, welche im Falle von Stromrichterantrieben und Umrichtermotoren zunehmend angewendet werden.
