Subconductor methods or partial wire methods yield reliable results for conductor parameters such as inductance, capacitance, conductance and resistance and can be used to estimate these parameters for conductor configurations involving complex geometries which cannot be handled using analytical methods. The values of inductances obtained using partial wire method are critically compared with v...

In this Paper, complete models of three and six phase self commutated synchronous machine drives are presented, considering the effects of both time and space harmonics. First, the equations for calculation of machine inductances are developed. Next, "thyristor-inverter-electric machine" set is modeled in order to derive all the equations for conduction and commutation states. Finally, the resu...
