A multiple reference frame based model of a generically configured permanen
t split capacitor induction machine is set forth The model provides for the
possibilities of asymmetrical windings, arbitrary tapping of the main wind
ing, and shifting of the auxiliary winding from the quadrature position. Th
e model is valid for both steady-state and transient analysis,and features
state variables which are constant in the steady-state This feature makes t
he model readily linearizable for derivation of transfer functions, In addi
tion, a procedure for estimation of the machine parameters based on standst
ill measurements is set forth. Finally,both the model and the parameter mea
surement scheme mu verified experimentally.
