Mathcad PTC Software Towards IM Static/Dynamic Characteristics Simulation

Abstract

The paper presents the advantages of Mathcad software for simulating both static and dynamic characteristics of induction machines based on known mathematical models. Mathcad allows for the direct entry of differential and other complex equations that mathematically describe any system or process, automatically calculating the results based on input parameters and conditions. The results can be easily visualized and adjusted by changing the input data, thanks to Mathcad's dynamic updating feature. This paper demonstrates Mathcad's use in visualizing the dynamic characteristics of induction machines (IM) during the startup, rotor resistance starter design and steady-state thermal analysis with varying duty types or machine losses.
