Effects of the air-gap length
GL and winding distribution on the magnetic space harmonics
BN and torque losses of the capacitor motor are discussed. Relationships between equivalent circuit parameters and
GL are investigated with changing
GL from 0.35 to 0.15mm. The experimental values of developed torque are compared with calculated values by use of the equivalent circuit parameters. It is shown that the torque ratio, experimental to calculated values, decreases in the region of
GL<0.2mm. A method is given for calculating the values of
BN caused by the stator slots and winding distribution, and variations of
BN as a function of
GL are obtained on a test motor. Effects of
GL, number of stator slots per pole
NS, width of the stator slot, skewed pitch, and winding distribution on the value of
BN are investigated.
