NVH - Spectrogram - I PSI N

1. Positioning and objective

The aim of the test “Mechanics – NVH – Spectrogram – I-Ψ-N” is to perform NVH analysis on the machine when operating at a set of targeted working points defined with the following inputs values I,Ψ,N (Magnitude of current, Control angle, Speed).

This test give data allowing NVH prediction in early electromagnetic and design stage.

The modal analysis of the stator mechanical structure, the radiated sound power spectrogram per engine order versus speed and the resulting overall weighted radiated sound power versus speed are computed and displayed.

These results allow to see if there are any problems linked with NVH over the considered speed range.

And finally, this test helps to answer the following question:

• Could the machine have any risks in connection with NVH? Yes / No.

The following table helps to classify the test “Mechanics – NVH – Spectrogram – I-Ψ-N”.

2. User inputs

A list of working points must be defined in a file. They are described with the four following input parameters:

• The supplied line current, or current density (rms value),
• The control angle
• The speed
• The magnet temperature.

In addition, temperatures of winding must be set.

3. Main outputs

Test results are illustrated with data, graph and tables.
