Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
There are two main objectives associated with the proposed work:1. A facility for safely testing high speed electrical machines would allow us to learn more about how characteristics such as heating, high frequency electromagnetic losses, vibration and output power of electrical machines varies with speed. Issues of particular interest are eddy current losses in canned rotors, permanent magnet materials and high-speed stray losses.2. Validate software for designing and predicting the performance of high-speed electrical machines by means of an extensive experimental programme involving a series of benchmark test problems carried out on various test rigs.
