The Steady-State Performance Characteristics of Single Phase Transfer Field Machine Operating in the Asynchronous Mode
Abstract
The paper reports the derivation of the steady- state equivalent circuit of a single phase transfer eld (SPTF) machine operating in the asynchronous mode from which the performance characteristics could be predicted. The equivalent circuit of the machine was derived using the concept of double eld revolving theory cum symmetrical components. It is shown that the machine displays torque-slip characteristics similar to those of a single phase induction motor. The performance characteristics of the SPTF machine using the derived equivalent circuit are in tune with the theoretical predictions and validate the equivalent circuit.
Keywords: symmetrical components, asynchronous mode, double eld revolving theory
