C. MAGNETIC NOISE AND VIBRATIONS IN ELECTRICAL MACHINES
What do we call “electromagnetic acoustic noise” or electrical noise ?
•
Sinusoidally-fed squirrel cage induction machine during run-up (« slotting noise »)
•
Non-sinusoidally-fed squirrel cage induction machine at starting (« PWM noise »)
-> « high » frequency (100 to 10000 Hz), high tonality noise
Definition
•
Magnetic noise and vibrations is defined as noise and vibrations due to magnetic forces
•
Magnetic forces can be defined as « forces arising from the presence of a magnetic field »
-> magnetic noise stops when an induction machine is current-free
•
Two magnetic forces exist in electrical machines: magnetostriction & Maxwell forces
© EOMYS ENGINEERING 2014-2015

Magnetostriction forces tend to
« shrink » the iron along the field lines
Maxwell forces tend to get the
stator closer to the rotor

Electrical noise and vibration phenomena
electrical machine
endplate
mount
•
Tangential and radial magnetic force harmonics generate radial
vibrations propagating to the external frame
•
Torque harmonics can propagate through rotor shaft as
torsional vibrations, and efficiently radiated (large surface /
normal vibrations) like gearbox frame or mount
•
Unbalance forces harmonics generate shaft bending vibrations
which propagate to bearing & frame
•
Axial forces make endplates axial vibrations
•
Forced excitation + resonances

frame

Why do electrical noise and vibrations matter ?
•
Health (e.g. in industry): lower the exposure to acoustic noise level
•
Comfort (e.g. in transportation): increase the sound “pleasantness” based on psychoacoustic metrics
•
Security (e.g. in defense): lower the vibroacoustic signature
•
Robustness (e.g. in energy): lower the electromechanical fatigue
•
Standard requirements
Electromagnetics & vibroacoustics interactions
•
Cost optimization -> thinner yoker -> increased vibration & noise
•
Skewing technique which is used to reduce noise and vibration levels degrades torque and efficiency
•
Electromagnetic & thermal & vibro-acoustic design have therefore strong interactions

Characterization of electrical noise and vibration
• “time” frequency f
•
“space” frequency = space order = wavenumber r
r=0
r=6
•
harmonic origin: slotting, winding, PWM, saturation, eccentricity…
•
wave type: pulsating Vs rotating, rotation direction
•
forced excitation Vs resonance
•
largest magnetic force occurs at f=2fs (electrical frequency) r=2p (pole pair number)

E. ACQUISITION SETSET-UP

Order tracking
•
For magnetic vibrations due to “slotting effects” the best orders to be tracked are 2p, Zr-2p, Zr, Zr+2p (p:
number of pole pairs, Zr: number of rotor slots or number of rotor poles)
-> some high rank orders are needed for high torque machines (ex: Zr=212)
•
For mechanical vibrations the order 1 should be also tracked
•
Specific set-ups are used for the best tradeoff between rpm and Hz accuracy

•
Plot / slot interactions appear as single sided-excitation (pure rotating force waves)
•
Eccentricities and PWM vibrations appear as double sided excitations (modulation effects: pairs of travelling
vibration waves)
•
Natural frequencies appear as symmetrical amplifications in double sided FFTs
•
The machine vibration behavior is determined by wavenumbers 1 and 2
•
“Spatiograms” based on Dewesoft Math functions are far more efficient than doing an ODS at each
frequency and each speed…

G. CONCLUSIONS
•
Advanced rotating machine analysis applied to electrical noise & vibrations reduction
•
On field post-processings allow to quickly identify the physical origin of noise & vibration
•
Combined with internal simulations (e.g. MANATEE software) some mechanical and electromagnetic
redesign possibilities can be proposed and validated
•
Up to 15 dB reduction has been obtained after redesign
