Method of measuring unsaturated inductances of an equivalent circuit of a synchronous machine

Abstract

A method of measuring unsaturated inductances of an equivalent circuit of a synchronous machine including measuring a no-load saturation characteristic of a synchronous machine; measuring a three-phase short-circuit characteristic of the synchronous machine; measuring currents and voltages of an armature and a field when an armature coil and a field coil are in a positional relationship wherein a magnetomotive force by flowing current to the armature coil of the synchronous machine becomes a direct-axis magnetomotive force and both when the field coil is in an open-circuit state and when the field coil is in a short-circuit state by direct-axis Dalton-Cameron method; and solving simultaneous equations concerning a direct-axis equivalent circuit of the synchronous machine by using results of the measuring the no-load saturation characteristic, the measuring the three-phase short-circuit characteristic and the measuring by the direct-axis Dalton-Cameron method, thereby obtaining impedances of respective elements constituting the direct-axis equivalent circuit.
