Appendix D - Three-Phase Concepts & Transformations<br />

This appendix is a collection of various “basic” and “advanced” topics related to three-phase<br />

systems that appear throughout the report. Although all readers are assumed to have an electrical<br />

engineering degree, many of these basic concepts are not taught in courses outside the power<br />

systems emphasis. In addition, many modern machines and power electronics texts are nearly half<br />

a century out of date, thus many graduating students (the author included) are likely to have not<br />

been exposed to the more advanced topics.<br />

Harmonic Analysis<br />

Any periodic signal can be described in terms of a Fourier series. All ideal steady-state<br />

waveforms in nonsalient machines possess quarterwave symmetry so they can be represented<br />

using only cosine or sine terms; here, the cosine is selected in order to match the conventions for<br />

the phasor and space vector reference. Since waveforms with quarterwave symmetry also have<br />

halfwave symmetry only odd terms are present. The standard harmonic components are therefore<br />

defined by Equation (D.1).<br />

As remarked earlier, this report only considers symmetric three-phase systems. For loads, this<br />

condition means that the self impedance of each phase must be identical and the mutual<br />

impedance between any two phases must be the same regardless of which pair is considered.<br />

From Chapter 3 and Appendix B, the impedance matrix for a three-phase sinusoidal motor<br />

satisfies this requirement. For sources (a controlled three-phase source or a bEMF in a load) the<br />

restriction means that each harmonic component of the phase-neutral voltage is identical to that of<br />

the other phases but is displaced by 120°.<br />

The harmonic components defined in Equation (D.1) are for a single phase only (and since phase-<br />

A is always taken as the reference, they are for phase-A). Extending the definition to phase-B and<br />

phase-C would appear to be given by Equation (D.2).<br />
