Numerical calculation of the effect of the induction machine load on the air gap magnetic flux density distribution

The subject of this paper is the calculation of the induction machine air gap flux density distribution. Following previous paper, the parameters affecting the distribution are integrated to create the final no-load flux density distribution. The no-load calculations are valid for every type of winding and can be applied to almost every type of electric machine. To calculate the flux density distribution in loaded condition, the magnitude and phase shift of the rotor current have to be calculated. The rotor magnetomotive force reaction distribution is calculated according to the stator calculations. Based on the equivalent circuit of the machine, the flux density distribution of variable load condition can be calculated. All numerical results are compared with the finite element analysis calculations and the distribution and spectral analysis of the air gap flux density are evaluated in this paper.
