A General Analytical Three-Phase Induction Machine Core Loss Model in the Arbitrary Reference Frame.

An analytical three-phase induction machine model is proposed, derived, and validated in this paper. This model is capable for arbitrary <bold>qd0</bold>-frame analysis and core loss estimation at both line-fed and inverter-fed situations. Detailed model-based machine copper and core loss estimations are presented. A simulation verification of the model consistency is given under a changing load profile in MATLAB/Simulink. Then, the model is verified comprehensively using three induction machines (1.5 HP, 3 HP, and 10 HP), where the model is proved to be scalable, and to provide excellent machine loss estimation in line-fed situation and inverter-fed situation with machine input line filters, as well as in the flux-weakening region. Finally, a series of sensitivity tests of the model parameters are performed and the effects of the parameters on the machine losses are discussed. It is believed that the proposed model will be beneficial for various <bold>qd0</bold>-frame model-based research works of three-phase induction machines. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
