Frequency Domain Study of Three-Phase Motor

Application ID: 41021


This three-phase induction motor model is used to compare with Testing Electromagnetic Analysis Method (TEAM) workshop problem 30.

The Magnetic Fields physics interface is used to model the motor in the frequency domain at 60 Hz. The Velocity (Lorentz Term) feature is used to model the armature’s rotation.

Solving the model generates values for the motor’s electromagnetic torque, induced voltage, and rotor losses at various rotor speeds. These computed results are then compared to the TEAM problem’s analytical results.
