Skew
1. Overview
 |
|
| SLOT – SKEW design area | |
| 1 | Selection of the STATOR subset: SLOT panel (Click on the icon SLOT) |
| 2 | Skew tab indicates the tool to define the slot skew angle |
| 3 | Visualization of the machine radial view to visualize the slot skew |
| 4 | Visualization of the stator developed view to visualize the slot skew |
| 5 | Choices to define a skew: None – Continuous (Continuous in our example) |
| 6 | Skew inputs to be defined |
| 7 | Buttons to validate the inputs (Pressing the “enter key” twice applies inputs too). |
| 8 | Buttons to restore the default input values. |
| 9 | Skew outputs (read only) |
| 10 | Button to export the skew data into *.txt or *.xls files. |
2. Set a skew angle
 |
|
| How to set a skew angle? | |
| 1 | Choose the definition mode of the skew: Stator slot – Shift angle |
| 2 | Definition of the skew angle depending of the definition mode |
| 3 | Visualization of the chosen skew angle on the machine radial view |
| 4 | Visualization of the equivalent axial slot angle on the rotor developed view |
| 5 | Equivalent axial stator slot angle (read only) |
| 6 | Equivalent stator slot pitch (read only) |
Note: The user can add a skew angle on the rotor or on the stator. If a
skew is already defined in the rotor when setting a skew on the stator, the rotor skewing
will be automatically reset to “None”.
