Sizing Equations for Electrical Machinery

Sizing equations for electrical machinery are developed from basic principles. The technique provides new insights into: 1. The effect of stator inner and outer diameters. 2. The amount of copper and steel used. 3. A maximizing function. 4. Equivalent slot dimensions in terms of diameters and flux density distribution. 5. Pole number effects. While the treatment is analytical, the scope is broad and intended to assist in the design of electrical machinery. Examples are given showing how the machine´s internal geometry can assume extreme proportions through changes in basic variables.
