2D Transient Excitations

Transient problems use the following types of excitations:


Excitation

Type of Excitation

Current

The total current in a conductor

Current Density

The known current density distribution in a conductor.

Coil

Used to define one or more model windings.

End Connection

End connection is used to model details of the "squirrel cage" winding of induction machines, dampers in synchronous machines, etc.

Winding With Current

Current for both a stranded and solid conductor.

Winding With Voltage

Voltage for both a stranded and solid conductor.

Winding With External Circuit Connection

External circuit connection for both a stranded and solid conductor.


In addition, permanent magnet materials serve as sources of magnetic fields.

Note: A winding is a versatile type of excitation. Six different combinations can be used: Current, Voltage, and External Circuit — each with a solid or stranded conductor. The Coil Terminal type of excitation needs to be defined prior to setting up a winding.
