DC machine models for SPICE2 simulation

A four-level computer model is proposed for DC machine simulation using SPICE2 to meet different simulation requirements. The most complex model takes account of magnetic saturation, armature reaction, current dependence of winding circuit parameters, and eddy current effects. The models have been developed to enable designers to simulate the static and dynamic characteristics of a complete converter drive system including the DC machine more simply, practically, and reliably in one simulation run. Some simulations have been investigated to demonstrate the benefits of the SPICE2 machine models
