The Investigation of Electromechanical Transients Using a Digital Simulation Language

Modern digital simulation languages can facilitate the introduction of simulation techniques into existing undergraduate lectures and course work. In this paper, a digital computer program is written in Continuous System Modeling Program (CSMP) for the simulation of the starting transients of a three-phase ac induction motor. The program illustrates the manner in which a simulation language can minimize the intricacies of numerical analysis and computer programming and thus simplify the study of the dynamic behavior of ac and dc machines and other electromechanical devices.
