Contents

The frequency inverter current spectrum generates a complex magnetic field in the airgap producing attracting forces having a wide spectrum and leads to audible noise. A mathematical model is presented, predicting vibrations of a permanent magnet machine, based on the modal analysis technique including mechanical damping. Modal forces produced by the magnetic field, are related to the supply currents using a finite element calculation. Experimental results are presented.

Übersicht

Das Stromspektrum eines Frequenzumrichters generiert ein komplexes magnetisches Feld im Luftspalt, welches Anziehungskräfte mit einem breiten Frequenzgang hervorruft, die wiederum zu Geräuschen führen. Ein mathematisches Modell wird vorgestellt, welches es ermöglicht, die Schwingungen einer permanent erregten Maschine vorauszusagen. Es basiert auf der Modalen Analyse und enthält die mechanische Dämpfung. Vom Magnetfeld hervorgerufene modale Kräfte werden mit den eingespeisten Strömen mittels der Finite-Elemente-Methode in Verbindung gebracht. Experimentelle Ergebnisse werden dargestellt.
