| Abstract: | This paper describes a phase model of an induction motor based on Transmission-Line Modelling technique. Its main advantage compared to the existing TLM d-q model is the possibility of using a small part of the stator self-inductance of each pahase as a link model to connect the motor to external sources and drives. Unlike the d-q model, the phase model does not therefore require any additional components for connection purposes. The application of the phase model is demonstrated by and example representing a traction drive ciruit. Identical simulation results to those obtained from a different study based on a d-q model are derived. |
