Desarrollo de un módulo de simulación de motores de inducción para soporte de laboratorio de máquinas eléctricas de la Escuela Politécnica Nacional.

Abstract

In the present project, a simulation module is designed, this serves as a support for the practical teaching in the Electrical Machines Laboratory of the National Polytechnic School, because it allows to simulate the real behavior of the single-phase induction motors at their starting time, likewise it also allows to obtain the necessary data for the parameter’s calculations, according to the standards establish by IEEE. The established tests in the simulation module have been taken from the actual guide sheets used in Electrical Machines laboratory, thus the module intends that the users simulate the interaction with the real machines whenever need it. In the case of motor start test, the module presents several screen types which includes a series of steps that the users must comply in order to access the next section. At the end of the practice the user will be in the capacity of determinate and identify the positive and negative effects of the different types starting of an induction motor. For the parameter determination test of the induction motor, the module has screens which simulate the processes followed in the real laboratory, as well as the necessary measuring instruments, with the purpose of developing the established tests from the guide sheets to calculate the induction motor parameters. Finally, there is a section for the single-phase induction motor where the user will be able to interact with it and analyzes the behavior of its main electrical variables
