Positive:
Round rotor (sub-transient, transient, or steady
state):
Approximation:
Negative:
Produces air gap flux rotating in opposite direction of rotor at 2X synchronous speed.
Use damper circuits of d- and q-axes as dominant elements.
Approximation:
Zero:
Air gap flux is zero for sinusoidal mmf distribution in each phase
Use per-phase leakage reactance:
Also include 3Zn if neutral is grounded through Zn.
