Abstract :
This paper presents 3-D finite-element analysis of a new double excitation synchronous machine. It is shown that the machine has true field regulation capability. The principle of operation and design aspects of this new machine are presented in the paper. Comparison of 3-D FEA with an experimental study done on a prototype having a different rotor structure is also investigated.
