IM SM Section

The Induction Machine / Synchronous Machine (IM SM) model can simulate either a Squirrel-Cage Induction Machine (SCIM) or a Round Rotor Synchronous Machine (RRSM), each with integrated resolver and encoder models. The machines can operate in both motoring mode, when the mechanical torque is positive, and generating mode when the mechanical torque is negative. An optional zero-sequence model can be included to allow the user to model the system as unbalanced.

The Squirrel-Cage Induction Machine model simulates the stator winding and squirrel-cage rotor of a three-phase induction machine. The Round Rotor Synchronous Machine model simulates the machine stator, the field winding, and up to three damper windings--one along the d-axis and two more along the q-axis.

General Parameters

The following parameters are available for any selected Machine Type. They are configurable at edit-time only.

Machine Configuration
Machine Model Settings
Name		Specifies the name of the machine model.
Description		Specifies a description for the machine model.
	Default Value	Description
Machine Type	Squirrel-Cage Induction Machine	Choose from one of the following types: Squirrel-Cage Induction Machine Round Rotor Synchronous Machine
Input Mapping Configuration
Use the Input Mapping Configuration to route signals to the Voltage Phase A, Voltage Phase B, and Voltage Phase C inputs of the machine model. In the case of the RRSM, an input is also provided for the Field Voltage of the rotor. Available routing options may vary depending on the selected Hardware Configuration. The Field Voltage supplied to the RRSM must be greater than 0V.
Group		Specifies the group that will be routed to the input voltages of the machine. The available routing options are defined by the selected Hardware Configuration, however it is typical to see the following options by default: Measurements - eHS circuit model measurements
Element		Specifies the index of the measurement in the group that has been selected as the input voltage of the machine.

Machine-Specific Parameters

Certain parameters of the IM SM page are populated based on the selected Machine Type. Parameters are configurable at edit-time only.

Machine Configuration

Machine Configuration
	Symbol	Units	Default Value	Description
Enable			True	Indicates whether the selected machine model is enabled. When a machine is enabled, it computes and generates output data at the specified Applied Solver Timestep. Because up to four machines can be simulated at once, the number of enabled machines impacts the minimum achievable time step of each machine.
Stator Resistance	R_s	Ω	0.6	Stator winding resistance of phases A, B, and C.
Stator Leakage Inductance	L_ls	H	0.00035	Stator winding leakage inductance of phases A, B, and C.
Mutual Inductance	L_m	H	0.62	Stator-rotor mutual (magnetizing) inductance of phases A, B, and C.
Rotor Resistance	R'_r	Ω	0.62	Equivalent rotor winding resistance of phases A, B, and C, referred to the stator.
Rotor Leakage Inductance	L'_lr	H	0.00547	Equivalent rotor winding leakage inductance of phases A, B, and C, referred to the stator.
Pole Pairs	PP		2	Number of machine pole pairs.
Initial Speed	ω₀	RPM	0	Initial speed of the machine.
Applied Solver Timestep	T_s	s	4.81E-7	The timestep at which the machine model executes. New outputs are computed by the FPGA machine model at each timestep. If Optimize Solver Timestep is enabled in the Circuit Model page, the Applied Solver Timestep is automatically set to an optimal value and cannot be edited.
Minimum Solver Timestep	T_sm	s	4.81E-7	The minimum achievable timestep at which the machine model can execute when all four machines are enabled. The minimum achievable timestep is a function of the number of enabled machines.
Zero Sequence			Don't Include	When Include is selected, the Zero-Sequence Resistance and Zero-Sequence Inductance parameters are enabled to include a Zero Sequence Model.
Zero-Sequence Resistance	R₀	Ω	0.0029069	Zero-sequence stator winding resistance This parameter is enabled when Zero Sequence is set to Included.
Zero-Sequence Inductance	L₀	H	0.00030892	Zero-sequence stator winding inductance This parameter is enabled when Zero Sequence is set to Included.
