Induction machines – Motor Factory – Test environment

Apparent power and power factor are wrong with delta winding connection

For the test working point U,f,N in accurate mode, the apparent power is wrongly computed.

In back end the formula applied is S = 3×Vs_rms×Is_rms instead of S = 3×Vs_rms×Js_rms with:
  • Vs_rms = Phase voltage rms value
  • Is_rms = Line current rms value
  • Js_rms = Phase current rms value

(ref.: SLVFXM-18071)

Efficiency map vector control – Bad computation for Ld

The computation of the d-axis and q-axis inductances has been implemented in the framework of the new test Effciency map – vector control U-I.The computation of Ld via the d-axis flux linkage response surface gives bad results (ref.: FXM-17679).

The computation of the efficiency map (U, I) with mechanical losses can fail.

This issue raises a null-pointer exception (ref.: FXM-16157).

The flux density is not displayed in accurate mode computation.

While computing a working point (U, f, N) for an induction machine with a skewed squirrel cage and outer rotor, the flux density inside the airgap is not displayed. (ref.: FXM-16154).

Error when exporting and solving a project in Flux Skew – Transient application.

This issue occurs when the user input “Represented coil conductors” is set to All phases (ref.: FXM-15877).

Scalar Maps or Efficiency map (U,f) tests fail with hairpin winding technology

Sometimes, the tests Scalar Maps and Efficiency map (U,f) are not correctly solved with a hairpin winding configuration, like for the Motor M1 of the reference catalog (ref.: FXM-15843).

Scalar maps test can provide bad results

Note: This test is still in beta mode (ref.: FXM-17587).

Power balance of No-load working point

Sometimes, computation of the no-load working point (slip = 0.1%) leads to a NaN (Not a Number) result. The computed amount of iron losses is not consistent with the power balance (ref.: FXM-12600).

Issue while computing the efficiency map (scalar control – U, f or U, I)

This problem occurs when there are 3 poles represented for the periodic portion of the model under consideration (ref.: FXM-17150).

Issue while computing the efficiency map (scalar control – U,f or U,I) – IMSQ

The scalar model gives wrong results when hairpin winding technology is considered compared to results obtained with an equivalent classical winding (ref.: FXM-17183).

Torque slip curve

Test results are not continuously consistent over a torque slip curve. This occurs with the test Performance mapping T(Slip) - induction machines with a skewed squirrel cage. When the user targets a working point as an added value to be computed with the whole Torque-slip curve, sometimes this additional working point doesn't belong to the curve (ref.: FXM-12599).
