Matlab Simulation of AC motor
Matlab Simulation of AC motor
(OP)
Helo everybody!
I,m running a simulation of a 3 phase, squirrel-cage, wye-connected 7,5KW, 6 pole AC motor in MATLAB!
The simulation results are the next (direct on line starting):
1. starting current 170A, then after a few seconds when the motor reaches the rated angular velocity of 120rad/sec the current drops to 70A,
2. the minimum torque on the torque curve is 10Nm, the breakdown torque is 70Nm
I would like to know, if these results are possible???
I think the torque should be more than that!?
Please comment on the results!

T = Pe / (2 * Pi * f) ~ Pmech / (2*pi*f*efficiency)
Let's say 60hz power supply. f~20hz
T = 7500 watts / (2 * Pi * 20 hz * 0.9)~ 66 N
(double check my math).
I would expect typical breakdown torque somewhere around 2 - 2.5 * rated torque. 70N doesn't sound high enough at first glance
