sinusoidal electrical variable will produce a factor of ωe while the derivative of a rotor position<br />

will produce ωr. In this report both electrical position and mechanical angles are generally<br />

specified in electrical degrees, thus the velocities would be ωe,elec and ωr,elec. Since this report<br />

concerns only synchronous machines there would then be no difference between electrical and<br />

mechanical quantities so the notational distinction between ωe & ωr and the ‘elec’ & ‘mech’<br />

subscripts are unnecessary. 17<br />

Reworking the units in Equation (3.9) yields Equation (3.10), where f e is the electrical frequency<br />

expressed in [Hz] and Nm is the mechanical rotational speed expressed in [rpm]; solving for f e<br />

yields Equation (3.11).<br />

Torque Production<br />

As discussed in the previous chapter, non-salient machines produce torque through the interaction<br />

of the magnetic field associated with the stator and that associated with the rotor. Previously the<br />

airgap MMF due to stator current was developed. Now the magnetic field of the rotor will be<br />

introduced in order to examine torque production.<br />

A magnetic field may be described by the distribution of its MMF, field strength, flux, or flux<br />

density. Using the assumptions presented earlier, all of these distributions are equivalent and only<br />

differ by constants. In reality this is not true due to several factors but it is a good enough<br />

approximation to explain motor operation [1, p.149], [27, p.117]. Therefore, the torque described<br />

by the interaction of stator and rotor fields may be expressed as various combinations of stator<br />

and rotor field quantities. The MMF produced by the stator is easily understood and is a<br />

reasonable choice because it is very simply related to the current by the winding function. But the<br />

influence of the rotor magnets is often thought of in terms of flux density rather than MMF. In<br />

P or its inverse will not appear in<br />

formulas. This is fitting since for simplicity only 2-pole machines are considered thus the factor is also<br />

excluded from the derivations and discussions. The full formulas can be found in most machine texts.<br />

An important consequence of doing this is that the factor /2<br />
