Analytical Model of Electrical Machines in Business Software

Abstract

This paper presents a possibility of using enterprise resource planning (ERP) business software for alternative analysis of electrical machines, with SAP ERP as an example of such software. Method presented is valid for all kinds of electrical machines. For the purpose of this paper, induction machine is processed. Analysis started with calculation of all six parameters of equivalent circuit, based on data determined by typical electrical measurements. Completion point is creation of steady-stay torqueslip curve. It is important to emphasize that only the standard SAP objects and functions are used for the whole procedure, without any additional programming.
