Calculation of additional losses caused by feeding an induction motor from a non-sinusoidal supply
The authors present an equivalent circuit for induction motors fed from a non-sinusoidal supply, The equivalent circuit presented takes into consideration the effect of stray fields. The validity of the theoretical results is checked by test results. The paper presents numerical methods to compute the different loss elements.
