2003): MATLAB Simulation of Induction Machines with Saturable Leakage

ABSTRACT Several methods have been developed for the modeling of saturation effects in induction machines [8,9,10,11, At high stator phase currents, the effect of saturation of the stator and rotor leakage inductances becomes noticeable to the extent that the conventional machine model fails to represent the dynamic performances of induction machines. In this paper, a commercial software package, MATLAB, is used to simulate the dynamic behavior of induction machines with saturable inductances. The computer results presented in this paper show the errors involved when the magnetizing, stator, and rotor leakage inductances are assumed constant as in the case of conventional machine model
