Basic quantities involved in the electromagnetic phenomena are:

i. Electric field strength (E) V/m

Presence of an electric and magnetic field can be analyzed from the force exerted by the
field on a charged object or a current-carrying conductor. Force experienced by an infinitesimal
charge of ‘ dQ ’ Coulomb moving at a speed sec/'' mv is given by Lorentz’s force equation i.e.

Equations 3-6 are Maxwell’s equations in differential form. Equation (3) is
Faraday’s induction law that describes how a changing magnetic flux creates an electric
field around it. Equation (4) describes the situation where a changing electric flux and
current produce magnetic field strength around them. This is Ampere’s law. Equation (5)
is known as Gauss’s law of electric field which indicates that there can be a source (positive
charge) and a sink (-ve charge) in an electric field. Equation (6) indicates that magnetic
flux is always a circulating with no starting or end point (i.e. source or sink).
Equation (3) in integral form can be written as

Equation (7) states that the change of a magnetic flux ‘Φ’ penetrating an open
surface ‘S’ is equal to negative of line integral of the electric field strength along the line ‘l’
around the surface.

Figure 2 Illustration of Faraday’s induction law.
The arrows in the circles point the direction of the electric field strength E in the
case where the flux density B inside the observed area is increasing. If we place a short-
circuited metal wire around the flux, we will obtain an integrated voltage
l
dlE in the
wire, and consequently also an electric current. This current creates its own flux that will
oppose the change of flux penetrating through the coil.
If there are several turns ‘N’ of winding, the flux does not link all these turns ideally,
but with a ratio of less than unity. Hence we may denote the effective turns of winding by
‘ Nkw ’ 1wk . Where ‘ wk ’ is known as the winding factor. For ‘N’ number of turns, induced
EMF equation (7) becomes

Example 2: There are 100 turns in a coil having a cross-sectional of 0.0001 m2. There is
an alternating magnetic field of peak flux density ‘1 T’ linking the turns of the coil with a
winding factor kw = 0.9. Calculate the induced EMF in the coil when the flux density

Equation (9) indicates that a current ‘i(t)’ penetrating a surface ‘S’ and including
the charge of electric flux is equal to line integral of the magnetic flux ‘H’ along the line ‘l’
around the surface ‘S’. Equation (9) is often represented in static or quasi-static form and
becomes

Term quasi-static indicates that the frequency of the phenomenon is low enough
to neglect displacement current. The phenomena occurring in electrical machines meet
the quasi-static requirement. In integral form Gauss’s law can be written as

Equation (11) indicates that a charge inside a closed surface ‘S’ that surrounds a
volume ‘V’ creates an electric flux density ‘D’ through the surface. Gauss’s Law for
magnetic field in integral form can be written as

Equation (12) indicated that there is no source for a magnetic flux. In electrical
machines, this means for instance that the main flux encircles the magnetic circuit of the
machine without a starting or end point.
The permittivity, permeability and conductivity ε, μ and σ of the medium
determine the dependence of the electric and magnetic flux densities and current density
on the field strength.

Example 1.3: Calculate the electric field density ‘D’ over an insulation layer 0.3 mm
thick when the potential of the winding is 400 V and the magnetic circuit of the system is
at earth potential. The relative permittivity of the insulation material is εr = 3.

From the above examples it is seen that the displacement current is insignificant
from the viewpoint of the machine’s basic functionality. However, when a motor is
supplied by a frequency converter and the transistors create high frequencies, significant
displacement currents may run across the insulation.
1.2 Numerical Solution: -
Accurate performance of the machine is usually evaluated using different
numerical methods. With these numerical methods, the effect of a single parameter on
the dynamical performance of the machine can be effectively studied. The most widely
used numerical method is the finite element method (FEM), which can be used in the
analysis of two- or three-dimensional electromagnetic field problems.
There are five common methods to calculate the torque from the FEM field
solution. The solutions are (1) the Maxwell stress tensor method, (2) Arkkio’s method, (3)
the method of magnetic coenergy differentiation, (4) Coulomb’s virtual work and (5) the
magnetizing current method.
The magnetic fields of electrical machines can often be treated as a two-
dimensional case, and therefore it is quite simple to employ the magnetic vector potential
in the numerical solution of the field. In many cases, however, the fields of the machine
are clearly three dimensional, and therefore a two-dimensional solution is always an
approximation. Relationship between vector magnetic potential ‘A’ and magnetic flux
density ‘B’ is given by:
AB (16)
The magnetic flux penetrating a surface is easy to calculate with the vector
potential using the relation,

1.3 The Most Common Principles Applied to Analytic Calculation
Design of an electrical machine involves the quantitative determination of the
magnetic flux of the machine. In the design of a magnetic circuit, the precise dimensions
for individual parts are determined, the required current linkage for the magnetic circuit
and also the required magnetizing current are calculated, and the magnitude of losses
occurring in the magnetic circuit are estimated. Design of a magnetic circuit of an
electrical machine is based on Ampere’s law. Total magneto-motive force (MMF) required
for a magnetic circuit is

T linkageCurrentNIdlHMMF .
Example 1.5: Consider a C-core inductor with a 1 mm air gap. In the air gap, the flux
density is 1 T. The ferromagnetic circuit length is 0.2 m and the relative permeability of
the core material at 1 T is μr = 3500. Calculate the field strengths in the air gap and the
core, and also the magnetizing current needed. How many turns N of wire carrying a 10
A direct current are needed to magnetize the choke to 1 T? Fringing in the air gap is
neglected and the winding factor is assumed to be kw = 1.

Windings of Electrical Machines
The operating principle of electrical machines is based on the interaction between the
magnetic fields and the currents flowing in the windings of the machine. The winding
constructions and connections together with the currents and voltages fed into the windings
determine the operating modes and the type of the electrical machine. According to their different
functions in an electrical machine, the windings are grouped for instance as follows:
i. armature windings;
ii. other rotating-field windings (e.g. stator or rotor windings of induction motors);
iii. field (magnetizing) windings;
iv. damper windings;
v. commutating windings; and
vi. compensating windings.
Armature winding: -
Armature winding is a winding in a synchronous, DC or single-phase commutator machine,
which, receives active power from or delivers active power from/to the external electrical system.
This definition also applies to a synchronous compensator if the term ‘active power’ is replaced
by ‘reactive power’. Configuration of a symmetrical poly-phase winding depends on
i. Even distribution of air-gap periphery for determination of pole pitch which covers
1800
electrical.
ii. Division of the periphery of machine into phase zones of positive and negative
values.
Pole pitch in terms of number of slots is calculated as
P
S
p , where ‘S’ is total number of slots and ‘P’ number of poles.
Phase zone distribution is expressed as
m
p
v
, where ‘m’ is the number of phases.
Number of zones are mP and number of slots for each such zone (number of slots per
pole per phase) is expressed as
Pm
S
s
11. 11
If ‘s’ is integer, the winding is called as integral slot winding and if ‘s’ is a fraction, then
the winding is known as fractional slot winding.
Figure 2.1 Division of the periphery of a three-phase, four-pole machine into phase zones of positive and negative
values.
The phase zones are distributed symmetrically to different phase windings so that the phase
zones of the phases U, V, W, . . . are positioned on the periphery of the machine at equal distances
in electrical degrees. In a three-phase system, the angle between the phases is 120 electrical
degrees. This is illustrated by the periphery of Figure 2.1, where we have 2 × 360 electrical degrees
because of four poles. Now, it is possible to label every phase zone. We start for instance with the
positive zone of the phase U. The first positive zone of the phase V will be 120 electrical degrees
from the first positive zone of the phase U. Correspondingly, the first positive zone of the phase
W will be 120 electrical degrees from the positive zone of the phase V and so on. In Figure 2.1,
there are two pole pairs, and hence we need two positive zones for each phase U, V and W. In the
slots of each, now labelled phase zones, there are only the coil sides of the labelled phase coil, in
all of which the current flows in the same direction. Now, if their direction of current is selected
positive in the diagram, the unlabelled zones become negative. Negative zones are labelled by
starting from the distance of a pole pitch from the position of the positive zones. Now U and −U,
V and −V, W and −W are at distances of 180 electrical degrees from each other.

Main Dimensions of a Rotating Machine
The design of a rotating electrical machine can be commenced by defining certain basic
characteristics, the most important of which are:
Machine type (synchronous, asynchronous, DC, reluctance machine, etc.).
Type of construction (external pole, internal pole, axial flux, radial flux machine, etc.).
Rated power:
For electric motors, the shaft output power P0 in W is given.
For synchronous motors, also the power factor (cosϕ) is given.
For induction and DC generators, the electric output power P0 in W is given.
Induction generators take reactive power from the network according to their
power factor. The reactive power must usually be compensated by capacitor banks.
For synchronous generators, the apparent power ‘S’ is given in VA. The power factor
(typically cosϕ = 0.8 overexcited) is also given.
Rated rotational speed ‘N’ of the machine or rated angular speed ‘w’.
Number of poles ‘P’ of the machine (with frequency converter drives, this is also a subject
of optimization).
Rated frequency ‘f’ of the machine (with frequency converter drives this is also a subject
of optimization).
Rated voltage ‘V’ of the machine.
Number of phases ‘m’ of the machine.
Intended duty cycle.
Additional information, such as efficiency, required locked rotor torque, pull-up torque,
peak torque, locked rotor current, speed-controlled drive etc.
In machine design, there are a considerable number of free parameters. When aiming for
an optimal solution, the task becomes extremely complicated unless the number of these free
parameters is somehow limited. Many free parameters vary only slightly, and therefore, to simplify
the task, these parameters can be assumed constant. The following 10 parameters can be selected
as free parameters:
13. 13
outer diameter of the stator stack (with the standard IEC frames, this parameter is often
fixed to certain values);
length of the stator stack;
width of the stator slot;
height of the stator slot;
diameter of the air gap;
air-gap length;
peak value of the air-gap flux density;
width of the rotor slot;
height of the rotor slot;
pole number and frequency.
Actual machine design starts with the selection of the main dimensions of the machine.
The term ‘main dimensions’ refers to the air-gap diameter Ds measured at the stator bore and the
equivalent core length l’. The equivalent length of the core takes into account the influence of the
flux fringing at possible cooling ducts of the machine and also at the ends of the machine. In
electrical machine design, there are certain empirically defined variation ranges of current and flux
densities, which can be applied in the preliminary phase of the design. Tables 1 and 2 introduce
some values of electromagnetic loadings for well-designed standard electrical machines.

Mechanical loadability: -
In addition to temperature rise, the output power and maximum speed of a machine are
restricted by the highest permissible mechanical stresses caused by the centrifugal force, highest
permissible electrical and magnetic loadings. The highest stress caused by the centrifugal force in
the rotor is proportional to the square of the angular speed and is expressed as:

When the maximal mechanical stress of the rotor material is known, the equation can be
used to determine the maximum allowable radius r of the rotor. Typically, a safety factor has to be
used so as not to exceed the integrity of the rotor material. Poisson’s ratios vary slightly for
different materials. Table 4 lists some ratios for pure materials.

Thus AJ is independent of the size of the machine; it depends only on the effectiveness of
the cooling of the machine. For totally enclosed machines, AJ is smaller than for open circuit
cooling. In air-cooled machines, the product AJ ranges from 10×1010

Design Processes
The design process of a rotating electrical machine can be carried out for instance in the
following order. This procedure can be directly applied to asynchronous motors, but it is also
applicable to the design of other type of machines.
1. The initial design parameters are checked.
2. The tangential stress tan or the machine constant C (from table 3 of previous chapter)
are determined according to the power, speed and cooling method of the machine.
3. The rotor size is determined according to the required torque using equation (2) of
previous chapter i.e.
rVT tan2 (1)
Then a suitable ratio of length to air-gap diameter ( ) is selected (using table 6 of
previous chapter). This ratio, then, determines the air-gap diameter D and the
equivalent length 'l of the machine.

Solving equations (2) and (3), diameter and effective length of the machine is found

4. A suitable air-gap is defined for the machine (using equations (23) & (24) of previous
chapter).
5. A suitable stator winding is selected for the machine. This is a decisive phase with
respect to the final characteristics of the machine. A guiding principle is that a poly-
phase winding produces the more sinusoidal current linkage; the more slots there are
in the stator. The winding factors for a slot winding usually become lower for the
24. 24
harmonics as the number of slots increases. Recommended slot pitches for different
types of machines are depicted in table 1
Table # 1
6. Since the tangential stress or the machine constant has already been selected, the air-
gap flux density Bm has to correlate with the selected machine constant. The initial
value employed in the calculation can be selected according to Table 1 of previous
chapter.
7. As the main dimensions, the winding method and the air-gap density have been
selected, the required number of coil turns per phase phT can be defined with the desired
emf. The emf per phase Em=ωΨm induced by the air-gap flux linkage (Ψm = ImLm) can
first be estimated from the RMS value of the fundamental terminal voltage (V):
For induction motors, Eph ≈ 0.96V − 0.98V
For generators, Eph ≈ 1.03V − 1.06V
The main flux penetrating a winding varies almost sinusoidally as a function of time
and can be expressed as:

i for sinusoidal flux density distribution.
If the machine is dimensioned in such a way that its iron parts saturate at the peak value of
the flux density, the flux density distribution is flattened. In ordinary network-supplied induction
motors, both the stator and rotor teeth are saturated at the peak value of the flux density. This leads
to a higher reluctance of these teeth when compared with other teeth, and thus i takes notably
25. 25
higher values than the value corresponding to a sinusoidal distribution. The factor i has to be
iterated gradually to the correct value during the design process. The value 64.0i of an
unsaturated machine can be employed as an initial value. The theoretical maximum value of i is
1. In practice, i should not exceed 0.85. In that case, the MMF difference in the stator ( sMMF )
and rotor ( rMMF ) teeth is already higher than the MMF of the air gap aMMF . To simplify the
machine design, the factor i can be determined beforehand for different phases of saturation.
Figure below illustrates i as a function of saturation factor satK .

Note that the peak fluxΦm is calculated per single pole. In a symmetrical machine, the
flux of each pole is of equal magnitude. Tph is the number of coil turns in series
needed for the assembly. This number can also, if required, be divided into several
pole pairs. If there are two pole pairs in the machine, for instance, they can be connected
26. 26
in parallel if desired, the number of turns now being Tph in both pole pairs. The number
of parallel paths in such a case is a = 2. If the pole pairs are connected in series
instead, the number of turns becomes Tph /2 for both pole pairs, the total number
being Tph. If possible, it is advisable to connect the coils in series, since in that case
the possible asymmetries between the pole pairs do not cause circulating currents in the
machine. For example for a 4-pole machine if Tph = 400, if the windings of each pole
pair are to be connected in parallel then number of turns for each pole pair is 400. If
windings are to be connected in series, then number of turns for each pole pair should
be Tph/2 i.e. 200.
8. Next, we have to find a suitable integer closest to the previously calculated number of
turns Tph. In a phase winding, there are Tph turns in series. A single coil turn is composed
of two conductors in slots, connected by the coil ends. In a single-phase winding, there
are thus 2Tph conductors in series. With m phases in a machine, the number of
conductors becomes 2mTph. There may be ‘a’ number of parallel paths in a winding, in
which case the number of conductors is 2amTph. The number of conductors per slot
becomes:
S

Where S is the number of slots and ZS should be an integer.
9. The selected number of turns for the phase winding has an effect on the value of
maximum flux density Bm. For the newly calculated turns per phase, new value of Bm
can be calculated using equation (7).
Example # 1: - Find a suitable number of stator turns for the motor with m = 3, P = 4, Bm = 1 T,
l’ = 0.2 m, τp = 0.2 m, f = 50 Hz, phase voltage Vph = 400V, and q = 4 with no short pitching.
Take i = 0.72.

If all the coils are connected in series there will be 32 turns per pole pairs with turns. If
they are arranged in two parallel paths there will be 64 turns per pole pairs.

If a series connection is possible, it is always safest to select it, because with parallel paths,
there exists a possibility of circulating current, if any non-symmetry is present in the construction.
10. The air-gap flux density Bm being determined, the stator and rotor teeth are dimensioned
next. The flux densities of the stator and rotor teeth are chosen for normal machines
according to the permitted values presented in Table 6.1. In high-frequency machines,
it may be necessary to select values notably lower than the values presented in Table
6.1 to avoid excessive iron losses. When the apparent reference flux densities are
selected for the stator and rotor teeth, the widths bds and bdr are calculated for the stator
and rotor teeth using the selected flux densities at the teeth.
11. In order to determine the dimensions of the stator and rotor slots, we have to estimate
the stator and rotor currents. In synchronous and asynchronous motors, the stator
current Is is obtained with the shaft power P0, the stator phase voltage Vph, the efficiency
η and the power factor cos ϕ.

The space factor KCu of the slot depends principally on the winding material, the voltage
level and the winding type of the machine. The windings of small electrical machines are
usually made of round wire. In that case, the space factor of an insulated wire in a free slot
(with the area reserved for the slot insulation subtracted) varies, depending on the quality of
winding assembly, from 60 to 66%. If aluminium bars are die cast in the induction motor, the
space factor becomes kCu,r = 1.
12. When the air-gap diameter, the air gap, the peak value of the air-gap flux density and
the dimensions of the stator and rotor slots of the machine are known, we may start to
calculate the magnetomotive force over the air gap and the teeth.
