Transient conditions in asynchronous induction machines and their relation to control problems

This paper discusses a number of transient conditions existing in asynchronous machines immediately after certain changes in the circuit connections are made. The advisability of considering these conditions in connection with the control layout for the purpose of eliminating bad effects caused thereby, is pointed out. The principal subjects considered are undesirable peak currents, which may be caused by the damping effect of the short-circuited rotor windings and the over-voltages, which are obtained with certain control arrangements.
