For stable operation, the angle net must have an absolute PD = Ps - Pr = Vs*Is - Vr*Ir
value significantly less than 90˚. The power transmission or = Vs*Is - (Nr*Vs/Ns*fr/fs)*(Ns*Is/Nr)
power flow will be limited to a fraction of the maximum
theoretical level given in (2). Here, the power transmission = Vs*Is*(1 - fr/fs)
equations are analyzed based on assumption that VFT is an or, PD = Ps*(1 - fr/fs) (12)
ideal and lossless machine, with negligible leakage reactance
and magnetizing current. The power balance equation requires The torque produced by the drive system (TD) is
that the electrical power flowing out of the stator winding TD = PD / frm
must flow into the combined electrical path on the rotor
winding and the mechanical path to the drive system, i.e. = Vs*Is*[(fs-fr)/fs]/(fs-fr)
Ps = PD + Pr (5) = Vs*Is/fs
where, = Ns*fs*a*Is/fs
Ps = electrical power to the stator windings, or, TD = Ns*Is*a (13)
Pr = electrical power to the rotor windings and It shows that the drive system torque, TD is independent of
rotational speed, being only proportional to stator current and
PD = mechanical power from the torque-control drive
air gap flux. Since the machine operates near constant flux,
system.
this means that torque is proportional only to the stator
Since the machine behaves like a transformer, the ampere- current. Hence, if the stator frequency is constant, then the
turns must balance between rotor and stator: applied torque should be proportional to power transmission
Ns*Is = Nr*Ir (6) through the VFT [1].
