Presents corrections to the paper, Optimization and Design Considerations of GaN-Based Multi-Level TP PFC Converters.
Calculation of MMF and winding factor of electric machines is a tedious task. Additionally, there is not a common unified method to calculate the winding factors of different types of electric machines. This is due to the lack of a universal formula for the calculation of the winding factors of both Fractional Slot Concentrated Windings (FSCWs) and...

Depending on its mechanical and thermal advantages, solid rotor induction motors (SRIMs) are widely used in demanding high-speed applications. Since eddy currents are set free in SRIMs, great part of rotor losses is caused by space harmonics created in the air-gap. Rotor losses are increased tremendously in high-speed applications with the remarkab...
