Calculation and Analysis of Stator End-Winding Leakage Inductance of an Induction Machine

This paper proposes an improved method for calculating the value of and for analyzing the frequency-dependence of the stator end-winding leakage inductance of an induction machine. The method was based on the stored magnetic energy, which was calculated by a 3-D time-harmonic finite element analysis. In this method, there were no rotary parts in the model of the simulated machine. The results of the analysis show that the stator end-winding is capable of influencing the end of the active region of the machine whereas the influence on the central part of the active region is small. In addition, the phenomenon that the stator end-winding leakage inductance, as well as the magnetic energy in the machine, relates to the frequency of the stator current is explored.
