| Abstract |
This work describes an educational framework for teaching induction motor drives, which is composed
by a computational environment and an experimental arrangement. Machine modelling is fully based on
ABC/abc induction machine model, without requiring from undergraduate students knowledge about any kind
of reference frame transformation. The use of conventional inductance parameters, easily measurable, also
helps understanding the model. Several laboratory experiments can be made and compared with simulation
results. Among these are the direct on line start, the wye-delta start, the use of soft-starters and the use of
PWM inverters of several manufacturers. |
