Model - Maps

1. Positioning and objective

The aim of the test “Characterization - Model - Motor - Maps” is to give 2D maps in J d -J q plane for characterizing the 3-Phase reluctance synchronous machines.

These maps allow predicting the behavior of the electrical rotating machine at a system level.

In this test engineers will find a system integrator and / or control-command tool adapted to their needs and able to provide accurate maps ready to be used in system simulation software like Activate.
