Abstract

The aim of the present paper is to develop methods that would be able to predict transient voltage distribution along the insulated-multiconductor windings of electric equipment fed by frequency converters. Several electromagnetic (EM) challenges are presented with this desire. First, the resistance ( R ) and self-/mutual inductances ( L , M ) frequency-dependent parameters are accurately computed using the enforced electric total current process based on the finite-element (FE) formulation of the strongly coupled time-harmonic magnetic field and total current density equations model including skin and proximity effects. Second, the coupling capacitances ( C ) are computed from the FE electrostatic analysis using the floating electric scalar potential process. Finally, a realistic high-frequency electric circuit of the distributed ( R, L, M, C ) EM parameter matrices is formed in order to predict the turn-to-ground and turn-to-turn voltage transients. The numerical results obtained from the proposed models implemented under the MATLAB code are successfully verified by the corresponding laboratory test measurements.
