Inductances in Distributed Windings

This course covers the comprehensive understanding of inductances in distributed windings. The course delves into the challenges of determining the self-inductance of a single coil on the stator due to complex air variations and changing flux density waveforms. For instance, it introduces Blondel's two-reaction theory to address these issues. The course also explores the concept of phase spread and the impact of a distributed stator winding on inductance. It further explains the relationship between the mechanical and electrical angle in a two-pole machine, the concept of flux linkage in the stator winding, and the impact of the number of machine poles on the electrical variation. The course concludes with the derivation of the expression for mutual inductance between two phases.
