Simulation of a single-phase induction motor for educational purposes

Abstract

The paper presents the development of a mathematical model of a single-phase induction motor for laboratory works. The experimental test bench that is used in the real exercises is represented by a mathematical model, created in the Matlab/Simulink environment. The created model is used for simulation of different main characteristics with high importance for the education of electrical specialists and engineers and studies the behavior of the single-phase motor with different kinds of run-capacitors, which is not possible in the real experimental bench at the Technical University of Sofia.
