Friction
Model of angular velocity dependent friction losses
Library
Electrical/Machines/Losses
Description
The friction losses are considered by the equations
tau / tauRef = (+w / wRef) ^ power_w for w > +wLinear - tau / tauRef = (-w / wRef) ^ power_w for w < -wLinear
with
tauRef * wRef = PRef
being the friction torque at the reference angular velocity
wRef. The exponent power_w is
approximately 1.5 for axial ventilation and approximately 2.0 for radial ventilation.
For stability reasons the friction torque tau is approximated by a linear curve
tau / tauLinear = w / wLinear
with
tauLinear = tauRef*(wLinear/wRef) ^ power_w
in the range -wLinear ≤ w ≤ wLinear with wLinear = 0.001 * wRef. The relationship of torque
and angular velocity is depicted in Fig. 1

If it is desired to neglect friction losses, set frictionParameters.PRef = 0 (this is the default).
