This article explains in layman’s terms what electromechanical professionals refer to as circulating currents, why they exist in three-phase electric motors and to offer practical solutions. 

Este artículo es explicar en términos sencillos a qué se refieren los profesionales de la electromecánica como corrientes circulantes, por qué existen en los motores eléctricos trifásicos y ofrecer soluciones prácticas.

When repairing centrifugal and axial flow pumps, axial thrust is a concern. An understanding of the causes and the mitigating provisions of various pump designs will help repair technicians to ensure those provisions work properly.

Unlike their AC counterparts, DC machines do not have rotating magnetic fields. Rather, there are fixed magnetic field axes for the field (direct axis) and armature (quadrature axis). Even though the armature is rotating, the magnetic field axis in the armature is fixed thanks to commutation, which allows the direction of current in an armature conductor to change as it passes from the region under one main field pole to the next.

A diferencia de sus homólogos de CA, las máquinas de CC no tienen campos magnéticos rotativos. Más bien, existen ejes de campo magnético fijos para el campo (eje directo) y la armadura (eje en cuadratura). Aunque la armadura esté girando, el eje del campo magnético de la armadura está fijo gracias a la conmutación, lo que permite que la dirección de la corriente en un conductor de la armadura cambie a medida que pasa debajo de un polo de campo principal al siguiente.

This article looks at some of the import details for a proper concentric to lap winding conversion. It also shows how using the EASA Technical Manual, EASA's AC Motor Verification & Redesign Software, as well as the EASA AC Redesign manual, can help.

Este artículo analiza algunos de los detalles de importación para una conversión adecuada de devanado concéntrico a devanado por vuelta. También muestra cómo puede ayudar el uso del Manual técnico de EASA, el software de rediseño y verificación de motores de CA de EASA, así como el manual de Rediseño de motores AC de EASA.

Occasions arise where original winding data is not available. It may have been recorded incorrectly or a different service center may have stripped the core but not completed the repair. In those cases, the service center must come up with a new “bare core” winding design. EASA's redesign software has some specific features to address this need.
