QSPICE Schematic Capture “Induction Motor”

This week’s QSPICE Schematic Capture comes from our friend Professor Marcos Alonso, who continues to produce outstanding educational resources for the engineering community, check out his YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@MarcosAlonsoElectronics

This week’s QSPICE example explores a three-phase induction motor driven from a 460 V, 60 Hz source while operating under a constant mechanical load. You can find this here: marcosalonsoelectronics (Marcos Alonso) · GitHub

The simulation lets you observe:

  • Three-phase stator voltages
  • Rotor flux evolution
  • Electromagnetic torque during startup
  • Motor speed accelerating to steady state

Professor Alonso has recently published a new book, Modelling, Control, and Simulation of DC-DC Converters, [available here.] (Modelling, Control, and Simulation of DC-DC Converters: Alonso, J. Marcos: 9798241156785: Amazon.com: Books) If you’re looking to deepen your knowledge of circuit simulation and mixed-signal design, it’s well worth checking out.

Have a schematic you’d like to share? We’d love to feature it in a future post. Please send any submissions to tim.mccune@qorvo.com. (Schematic Capture Post #100)
