Modeling an Induction motor in ANSYS Maxwell 2D

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on modeling an Induction motor using ANSYS Maxwell 2D. The user reports generating a transient torque output that indicates negative torque when a sine wave current with a 120-degree phase shift is applied. Suggestions were made to analyze field plots to ensure their accuracy and relevance to the model. The conversation emphasizes the importance of validating simulation results against expected physical behavior.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of induction motor principles
  • Familiarity with ANSYS Maxwell 2D software
  • Knowledge of transient analysis in electrical machines
  • Basic concepts of sine wave current and phase shift
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore field plot analysis techniques in ANSYS Maxwell 2D
  • Research the impact of phase shift on induction motor performance
  • Learn about transient torque calculations in electrical machines
  • Investigate common modeling errors in ANSYS simulations
USEFUL FOR

Electrical engineers, simulation specialists, and anyone involved in the design and analysis of induction motors using ANSYS Maxwell 2D.

TL;DR
Hii Friends.
I was trying to model an Induction motor in ANSYS Maxwell 2D. The final output of Transient torque (negative torque) looks like shown below. The input passed is a sine wave current with 120 deg phase shift. Any Suggestion will be highly appreciated

Perhaps you should look at some of your field plots to see if they make sense.
