Defining Three-Phase Non-Salient Synchronous Machines

The general procedure for defining a three-phase non-salient synchronous machine is as follows:

1. Create the non-salient synchronous machine project.

2. After you have selected Three-Phase Non-Salient Synchronous Machine as your model type, you must define the following:

• General data, such as number of poles, losses, and reference speed
• Stator data, such as dimensions, slot type, skew, and laminations
• Define the Stator slot dimensions
• Winding data, such as the parallel branches, conductors, and wire dimensions and insulation
• Rotor data, such as the rotor dimensions, lamination and slot type
• Define the Rotor slot data
• Define the Shaft Data
• Solution data, such as specifying motor or generator application, and rated output voltage and frequency.

You may also use the following options:

• Add a machine housing
• Add a damper to or remove an existing damper from the rotor
• Add vents to and remove existing vents from the stator
