Excitations

Verify the excitations to be generated by the AC power supply.

  1. In the Project Manager, expand BusBarTransient / Maxwell3DDesign (Transient) / Excitations.

    There are three bus bar objects: bus1, bus2, and bus3.

  2. Expand each of the bus bar objects.

    Note that a single-conductor input coil terminal and a single-conductor output coil terminal is defined for each.

  3. Review the excitation for each of the bus bar objects, performing the following steps on each one:

    1. Double-click the bus bar object.

      The Winding dialog opens.

    2. Under Parameters, verify the following settings:

      1. Type is set to Current.

        Solid is selected.

      2. Current is set to the following expressions:

        • bus1 is set to 7070A*sin(2*pi*60*time)

        • bus2 is set to 7070A*sin(2*pi*60*time-120deg)

        • bus3 is set to 7070A*sin(2*pi*60*time-240deg)

        Each bus bar carries 7070A current at 60 Hz frequency, but each at a different phase.

    3. Click Cancel to close the dialog.
