Setting Up Analysis Parameters for a Claw-Pole Alternator

To define the solution data:

To open the Solution Setup window, right-click Analysis in the project tree, and click Add Solution Setup.
Click the General tab. The Operation Type is automatically set to General for this machine type.

Select the Load Type used in the machine from the following options:

Infinite Bus	When the generator is connected to an infinite bus of the power system, the terminal voltages remain constant and the output power is determined by the output currents.
Independent Generator	The generator supplies electrical power to a load inductor. For an AC generator, the resistance and inductance of the load inductor are determined by the rated output power, the rated voltage, and the rated power factor. For a DC generator, the resistance of the load resistor is determined by the rated output power and the rated voltage.

Enter the output power developed at the shaft of the generator in the Rated Output Power field.
Enter the RMS line-to-line voltage in the Rated Voltage field.
Enter the desired output speed of the alternator at the load point in the Rated Speed field.
Enter the temperature at which the system functions in the Operating Temperature field.
Click the Claw-Pole Synchronous Machine tab.
Enter a value in the Rated Power Factor field.
To enter an Input Exciting Current, select the check box, enter a value, and select the units.
Click OK to close the Solution Setup window.
