Two categories of electrical machines are available in ATPDraw: Synchronous Machines and Universal Machines. ATPDraw does not support machines in parallel or back-to –back.

 

 

 

The Synchronous Machine models in ATPDraw have the following features/limitations:

·      With and without TACS control.

·      Manufacturers data.

·      No saturation.

·      No eddy-current or damping coils.

·      Single mass.

The Universal Machine models in ATPDraw have the following features/limitations:

·      Manual and automatic initialization.

·      SM, IM and DC type supported.

·      Raw coil data (internal parameters). Manufacturers data in Windsyn.

·      Saturation is supported in d, q, or both axes.

·      Maximum five excitation coils, sum d and q axis.

·      Network option for mechanical torque only.

·      Single torque source.

 

The Component dialog of Universal Machines is significantly different than that of the other objects. A complete description of parameters in this dialog box is given in chapter 5.2.2 of the Advanced Manual. The WI (embedded WIndSyn by Gabor Furst) components support the following machine types; Synchronous machines with salient or round rotor with damping options. Induction machines with wound, single cage, double cage, or deep-bar rotors. The Windsyn component is documented it chapter 5.2.5 in the Advanced Manual.
