Abstract
- Electrical discharge machining bearing currents that may occur within electric machines of variable-speed-drive motor systems have been recognized for a long time. One key influential factor, the machine's capacitive voltage divider “bearing-voltage-ratio” (BVR) strongly depends on the rotor-to-frame and the stator winding-to-rotor capacitances; these are, in turn, affected by the design of the machine's stator slot. This paper presents an approach to improve the accuracy with which these capacitances can be estimated. It is based on the well-known plate capacitance equation which is then corrected by normalization functions. The functions are defined by extensive parameter studies using electrostatic finite element method (FEM) simulations. The final expressions not only allow for the prediction of the stator-winding-to-rotor and rotor-to-frame capacitances, they are also readily applicable. Thereby, they facilitate, for example, the clear-cut study of the sensitivity of the BVR towards changes in the different stator slot parameters. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
