Stator and Rotor Core Data for Generic Rotating Machines

To access the stator or rotor core data, double-click the Machine > Rotor > Core or Machine > Stator > Core entry in the project tree. The core data Properties dialog box contains the following fields:

Outer Diameter

The outer diameter of the core.

Inner Diameter

The inner diameter of the core.

Length

The length of the core.

Stacking Factor

The effective magnetic length of the core.

Steel Type

The steel type of the core. Click the button to open the Select Definition window.

Pole Type

For PM_INTERIOR rotor type: Default type is 3.

For SALNT_POLE rotor and stator type: Default type is 1.

For SALNT_STEP rotor and stator type: Default type is 0. (Type 2 is disabled for inner cores.)

For NONS_RELU rotor type: Default type is Hyperbolic-polyline (type 4)

Invisible for all other stator and rotor core types.

Yoke Type

For SALNT_STEP rotor and stator types: Default type is 0. (Types 1-4 are enabled only for outer stator cores.)

Invisible for all other stator and rotor core types.

Press Board Thickness

The thickness of the pole press boards.

Invisible for AXIAL_PM, AXIAL_AC, and SALNT_STEP rotor and stator types.

Invisible for PM_INTERIOR, NONS_RELU and SOLID rotor types.

Magnetic Press Board

Defines if the press board is made of magnetic material.

Invisible for AXIAL_PM, AXIAL_AC, and SALNT_STEP rotor and stator types.

Invisible for PM_INTERIOR, NONS_RELU, and SOLID rotor types.

Skew Width

The skew width measured in degrees.

Invisible for AXIAL_AC and SALNT_STEP rotor and stator types.

Invisible for PM_INTERIOR, NONS_RELU, and SOLID rotor types.

Lamination Sectors

The number of lamination sectors.

Invisible for AXIAL_PM, AXIAL_AC, SALNT_POLE, and SALNT_STEP rotor and stator types.

Invisible for PM_INTERIOR, AXIAL_CAGE, SLOT_CAGE, NONS_RELU, and SOLID rotor types.

Half Slot

For AXIAL_CAGE and SLOT_CAGE rotor types: Check to set the rotor damper slots to half slots.

Invisible for all other stator and rotor core types.

Double Cage

For AXIAL_CAGE and SLOT_CAGE rotor types: Check to add a bottom damper.

Invisible for all other stator and rotor core types.

Sleeve Type

The sleeve type for the rotor. Visible only when the machine rotor type is SOLID.

Type 0: No Sleeve; Type 1: Hysteresis; Type 2: Conductor.

Default is Hysteresis

Sleeve Thickness

The thickness of the sleeve.

Invisible when the Sleeve Type is No Sleeve.

Invisible for SALNT_STEP stator and rotor types.

Sleeve Material

The material type of the sleeve.

Click the button to open the Select Definition window.

The selected material must be validated as a hysteresis material if the Sleeve Type is Hysteresis, or as a conductor if the Sleeve Type is Conductor. The Message Manager informs you if the selected material is not valid.

Invisible when the Sleeve Type is No Sleeve.

Invisible for SALNT_STEP stator and rotor types.
