The response of airgap-wound traction motors to armature short circuit faults (TM-ES-40)

Earlier studies have shown that the electrical insulation system used in the first experimental airgap-wound motor is able to withstand shear stresses of up to 1 MN/m2 at temperatures close to the maximum existing in typical motors. The present theoretical and experimental study shows that airgap-wound traction motors are likely...
