  • Abstract
    Induction motors are very simple devices, but, ever since they were introduced by Tesla, they have mystified many practicing engineers. The INSPEC interactive program that runs in Microsoft Windows on 386 or higher PCs, is designed to calculate accurate equivalent circuit models from induction motor standard specifications. It has a full graphical user interface (GUI), created using Microsoft´s Visual Basic. The use of the program to examine starting and bus transfer characteristics is discussed.<>
