Information

  • Simulate for 5 seconds: The machine is started at nominal speed, flux is build up in the machine.
  • Continue the simulation for additional 5 seconds: Subsequently a load ramp is applied.
  • Compare by plotting versus Pmech:
Current I_sim I_meas
Speed w_sim w_meas
Power factor pf_sim pf_meas
Efficiency eff_sim eff_meas
