Stator and Rotor Circuit Data for Generic Rotating Machines

To access the stator or rotor circuit data, double-click either the Machine > Stator > Circuit or the Machine > Rotor > Circuit entry in the project tree.

Note: This section is not applicable to PM_INTERIOR and SALNT_STEP rotors.

The circuit data Properties dialog box contains the following fields:

Control Type

Control Type: DC, CCC (chopping current control), PWM, HCC (hysteresis current control). Default is DC.

Note: For SALNT_STEP Stators, only DC and CCC control types are available.

Lead Angle of Trigger

Lead angle of trigger in electrical degrees.

Visible only when the machine stator or rotor Position Control is enabled.

Trigger Pulse Width

Trigger pulse width in electrical degrees.

Visible only when Control Type is DC or CCC. Default value is 120.

Transistor Drop

Voltage drop of one transistor.

Diode Drop

Voltage drop of one diode, or the total voltage for star-type circuits in the discharge loop.

Maximum Current

Maximum current for chopping current control.

Visible only when Control Type is CCC.

Minimum Current

Minimum current for chopping current control.

Visible only when Control Type is CCC.

Modulation Index

Modulation index (the ratio of the sine-wave amplitude to the triangular amplitude).

Visible only when Control Type is PWM.

Carrier Frequency Times

Carrier frequency times (the ratio of the triangular frequency to the sine-wave frequency).

Visible only when Control Type is PWM.

Reference Amplitude

The amplitude of the sine-wave reference current.

Visible only when Control Type is HCC.

Hysteresis Band

The difference between the upper and lower hysteresis limits.

Visible only when Control Type is HCC.
