Abstract

This paper introduces an alternative configuration for Brushless Doubly Fed Maclune (BDFM).
The proposed machine is a single-frame induction machine provided with two electrically
perpendicular sets of stator windings having the same number of poles with no direct transfonner
coupling between them. The rotor is a conventional squirrel cage with no conditions imposed on
its design and represents the only path for power transfer between the two sets of stator windings.
The simulated results compare favorably with the experi~nental results. Towards this objective, it
is hoped that the present work would be of some practical value in industrial applications.
