SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the Clarke Transform, specifically the conversion of three-phase currents \(I_a\), \(I_b\), and \(I_c\) into two-axis components \(I_{\alpha}\) and \(I_{\beta}\). The user identifies a missing factor of \(\frac{2}{3}\) in their derived equations compared to the standard equations. This factor is crucial for maintaining power invariance in the transformation, which ensures that the power in the original three-phase system is preserved in the two-axis representation. The user seeks clarification on the significance of this factor and its inclusion in the transformation.

TL;DR
The Clarke transform equation does not match with my calculations
The standard Clarke Transform is
##
i_{alpha} = i_a; -> 1
i_{beta} = \frac {(i_a + 2i_b)} {\sqrt3} ->2

I am trying to derive it, but missing a factor. Basically converting the 3 phase currents ## I_a, I_b, I_c ## into the 2 axis ##I_{\alpha}, I_{\beta} ##
resolving along the x-axis
##I_{\alpha} = I_a - I_b \sin(30) - I_c\sin(30) = \frac {3I_a} 2; ## since ##I_a+I_b+I_c=0## -->3
resolving along y-axis
##
I_{\beta} = I_b\cos30 - I_c\cos30; = \frac{\sqrt3(I_a+ 2I_b)} 2 --> 4
##
Now the derived 3 and 4 if i compare with original equations 1, 2, there is a factor ##\frac 2 3## is missing. What is this factor? Why should i include it?
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
Clarke Transformation i found the explanation in the wiki, the Power invariant transformation. What does it mean?
