Description

1

Phases

integer

3

Number of Phases, this Induction Machine.

2

Bus1

string
(bus def.)

Bus to which the Induction Machine is connected. May include specific node specification.

3

kV

real

12.47

kV

Nominal rated (1.0 per unit) voltage, kV. For 2- and 3-phase machines, specify phase-phase kV. Otherwise, specify actual kV across each branch of the machine. If wye (star), specify phase-neutral kV. If delta or phase-phase connected, specify phase-phase kV.

4

kW

real

1000.0

Shaft Power, kW, for the Induction Machine. A positive value denotes power for a load.
Negative value denotes an induction generator.

5

PF

real

[Read Only] Present power factor for the machine.

6

Conn

string
(from enum. Connection)

Delta

Connection of stator: Delta or Wye. Default is Delta.

7

kVA

real

1200.0

Rated kVA for the machine.

8

H

real

1.0

Per unit mass constant of the machine. MW-sec/MVA.

9

D

real

1.0

Damping constant. Usual range is 0 to 4. Adjust to get damping in Dynamics mode,

10

puRs

real

0.005

Per unit stator resistance.

11

puXs

real

0.106

Per unit stator leakage reactance.

12

puRr

real

0.007

Per unit rotor resistance.

13

puXr

real

0.12

Per unit rotor leakage reactance.

14

puXm

real

4.0

Per unit magnetizing reactance.

15

Slip

real

0.007

Initial slip value.

16

MaxSlip

real

0.1

Max slip value to allow. Set this before setting slip.

17

SlipOption

string
(from enum. Slip Option)

VariableSlip

Option for slip model.

18

Yearly

string
(LoadShape name)

LOADSHAPE object to use for yearly simulations. Must be previously defined as a Loadshape object. Is set to the Daily load shape when Daily is defined. The daily load shape is repeated in this case. Set Status=Fixed to ignore Loadshape designation. Set to NONE to reset to no loadshape. The default is no variation.

19

Daily

string
(LoadShape name)

LOADSHAPE object to use for daily simulations. Must be previously defined as a Loadshape object of 24 hrs, typically. Set Status=Fixed to ignore Loadshape designation. Set to NONE to reset to no loadshape. Default is no variation (constant) if not defined. Side effect: Sets Yearly load shape if not already defined.

20

Duty

string
(LoadShape name)

LOADSHAPE object to use for duty cycle simulations. Must be previously defined as a Loadshape object. Typically would have time intervals less than 1 hr. Designate the number of points to solve using the Set Number=xxxx command. If there are fewer points in the actual shape, the shape is assumed to repeat.Set to NONE to reset to no loadshape. Set Status=Fixed to ignore Loadshape designation. Defaults to Daily curve If not specified.

21

DebugTrace

boolean

False

Write DebugTrace file.

22

Spectrum

string
(Spectrum name)

default

Name of harmonic voltage or current spectrum for this IndMach012. Voltage behind Xd” for machine - default.

23

BaseFreq

real

Hz

Base Frequency for ratings.

24

Enabled

boolean

True

Indicates whether this element is enabled.

25
