Abstract: This paper presents a topology for the brushless operation of a wound-rotor synchronous machine based on the subharmonic excitation technique by using two sets of multi-pole windings on the armature as well as on the rotor. The armature windings consist of a four-pole three-phase main winding and a two-pole single-phase additional winding, responsible for the generation of fundamental and subharmonic components of magnetomotive force (MMF), respectively. The rotor contains four-pole field winding and two-pole excitation winding. From the generated air gap MMF, the additional winding is responsible for induction in excitation winding, which feeds DC to the field winding through a rotating rectifier without the need of brushes. Then, the interaction of the magnetic field from the main and the field windings produces torque. The proposed topology is analyzed using 2D finite element analysis (FEM). From the analysis, the generation of the subharmonic component of MMF is verified, which helps in achieving the brushless operation of the wound-rotor synchronous machine. Furthermore, the performance of the proposed brushless multi-pole topology is compared with the existing dual three-phase winding multi-pole topology in terms of current due to induction, output torque, torque ripples, and efficiency.
