Abstract

This paper dwells upon quantitative evaluation of the current displacement effect occurring in the buses located in AC machine bars, with evidence collected from a high-power magneto-electric generator. We herein specify the basic factors affecting the increase in currents observed in electric-machine buses. The paper presents examples of calculating the mean bus resistance increase by time-tested methods described in recognized scientific sources. We have also investigated the problem of modeling electromagnetic processes in ANSYS Maxwell, a CAD system. We make a specific emphasis on the functionality ANSYS Maxwell provides for gra­phical rendering of information derived from the simulation of electromechanical transducers. The presented graphical interpretation of generator simulation results makes it easier to understand the physics behind
this phenomenon while also facilitating the use of the software. The two mentioned methods for quantitative current-displacement evaluation are herein further compared based on the experimental data AO NPO Elektromashina has obtained from the samples of a calculated high-power magnetoelectric generator. Judging from this comparison of two methods for quantitative evaluation of current displacement in AC generator win­dings, we find the preferable method for calculating the total energy loss in the windings of electromechanical transducers. We also analyze the losses occurring in high-power magneto-electric generators, which losses affect considerably the efficiency of electric machines. We thus find the condition of maximizing the efficiency of high-power electric machines.
