Squirrel Cage Induction Machine (Obsolete)

 

 

 

Description

The Squirrel Cage Induction Machine can be operated in either 'speed control' or 'torque control' modes.  In speed control mode, the machine rotates at the speed specified at the input W.  In torque control mode, the speed is calculated based on the machine inertia, damping, the input torque and the output torque.

 

Normally, the machine is started in speed control mode with the W input set to rated per-unit speed (say 0.98) and then switched over to torque control after the initial transients of the machine die out (i.e. reaches steady-state).  This component may also be used with the Multi-Mass Torsional Shaft Interface.
