Design of inorganic coils for high temperature electrical machines
Résumé
The paper deals with a high frequency model of inorganic coils used to build high temperature (HT degrees) motor. The HT degrees wire has a nickel layer that protects the copper against oxidation and a thin inorganic coating, which has poor electrical and mechanical properties. Therefore, the coils must be designed with a special care for getting a good distribution of turn-to-turn voltage during the fast transients excited by the steep fronted voltages of the PWM inverter. A specific coil structure is proposed and a high frequency (HF) equivalent circuit able to compute the turn-to-turn voltages during transients. The voltage distribution between the coils of a stator phase is also detailed.
