Si. Nabeta et al., FINITE-ELEMENT SIMULATIONS OF UNBALANCED FAULTS IN A SYNCHRONOUS MACHINE, IEEE transactions on magnetics, 32(3), 1996, pp. 1561-1564
Two unbalanced faults (line-to-neutral and line-to-line short-circuits
) in a synchronous machine are simulated by the Finite Element Method
(FEM). In order to accomplish these tasks, the FEM had to be associate
d with the moving-air-band technique as well as the coupling with elec
tric circuit. Results obtained in the simulations concerning the armat
ure current and torque are compared with analytical curves.
