Three-to-Two Phase Transformation — Lesson 3

This lesson covers the concept of inductance expressions in electrical machines, specifically three-phase induction and synchronous machines. The lesson also discusses the complexity of these systems due to the number of variables involved. The lesson also discusses the concept of the MMF generated by a three-phase winding and how it can be approximated by a two-phase winding. The lesson also introduces the concept of space phasers and their role in representing the net MMF. It also explains the concept of symmetrical components and power variance and invariance and its role in the operation of these machines.
