Single-Phase Induction Motor: TEAM Workshop Problem 30
Application ID: 41121
This single-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. The homogenized multiturn coil feature is used to model the single-phase winding of the motor.
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.
This model example illustrates applications of this type that would nominally be built using the following products:
however, additional products may be required to completely define and model it. Furthermore, this example may also be defined and modeled using components from the following product combinations:
The combination of COMSOL® products required to model your application depends on several factors and may include boundary conditions, material properties, physics interfaces, and part libraries. Particular functionality may be common to several products. To determine the right combination of products for your modeling needs, review the Specification Chart and make use of a free evaluation license. The COMSOL Sales and Support teams are available for answering any questions you may have regarding this.
