Thermal Model Approach to Multisector Three-Phase Electrical Machines (2020)
Journal Article
Zhang, H., Giangrande, P., Sala, G., Xu, Z., Hua, W., Madonna, V., …Gerada, C. (2021). Thermal Model Approach to Multisector Three-Phase Electrical Machines. IEEE Transactions on Industrial Electronics, 68(4), 2919-2930. https://doi.org/10.1109/TIE.2020.2977559

© 1982-2012 IEEE. Multisector machines reveal a high fault-tolerant capability, since failure events can be isolated by de-energizing the faulty sector, while the healthy ones contribute in delivering the required power. This article is focused on th... Read More about Thermal Model Approach to Multisector Three-Phase Electrical Machines.
