THE STUDY OF TRANSIENT PROCESSES OF THE FREQUENCY-REGULATED SYNCHRONOUS ELECTRIC DRIVE by B. I. Firago, S. V. Aleksandrovsky

“…The article concerns an analytical study of transient processes of synchronous electric drive with consideration of the influence of damping winding when the motor supply voltage frequency varies linearly during the transient time. As a result of the analysis the formulas have been obtained that make it possible to calculate the angular velocity of the rotor and the electromagnetic torque of the motor at start-up, braking, and impingement and discharge of loads, evaluating the quality of the transition process and tracking the maximum value of the electromagnetic torque, that must not exceed the permissible value. …”
