Extract

A three-phase star-connected alternating-current motor of simplest type, connected to busbars maintained at sinusoidal potentials e1, e2 and e3 with respect to the star-point and connected to a shaft load which exerts a reactive torque f on the rotor, is dynamically specified by the following functions:

where the are the armature currents in the three phases, i is the current in the amortisseur circuit, Q the current in the field circuit, θ the rotor position angle, T the kinetic energy, V the potential energy, S the Rayleigh dissipation and U the activity of the external forces on the machine. The self-inductances of the armature circuits and the mutual inductances between them are assumed to be constant.
