Fundamentals of electrical drives, 2nd ed.

Abstract

Electrical drives consist of a number of components: the electrical machine, converter, and controller, all of which are discussed at various levels. A brief résumé of magnetic and electrical circuit principles is given in Chap. 1 together with a set of generic building modules which are used throughout this book to represent dynamic models. Chapter 2 is designed to familiarize the reader with the process of building a dynamic model of a coil with the aid of generic modules. This part of the text contains an introduction on phasors as required for steady-state analysis. The approach taken in this and the following chapters is to present a physical model, which is then represented by a symbolic model with the relevant equation set. A generic model is then presented which forms the basis for a set of build and play simulations set out in various steps in the tutorial at the end of the chapter.
