The Solution Setup window contains the following fields:

Operation Type

General tab. Select Motor or Generator from the drop-down menu.

Load Type

On the General tab. For a motor, select from Const Speed, Const Power, Const Torque, Linear Torque, and Fan Load. The default is Const Power. For a generator, select from Infinite Bus and Independent Generator.

Rated Output Power

General tab. Type a value for the rated output voltage, and select the units.

Rated Voltage

General tab. Type a value for the rated voltage, and select the units.

Rated Speed

General tab. Type a value for the rated speed, and select the units.

Operating Temperature

General tab. Type a value for the operating temperature, and select the units.

Field Exciting Type

DC Machine tab. Select Separately Excited or Self Excited from the drop-down menu.

Determined by Rated Speed

Select this check box to automatically calculate the Exciting Voltage and the Series Resistance from the Rated Speed, rather than entering the values.

Exciting Voltage
