Abstract

There is an ongoing effort to effectively use the computer in the teaching of electromagnetic energy conversion. To that end, a computer program (Electric Machine Analysis Program, or EMAP), was developed to facilitate steady state and dynamic analysis of all common rotating machine performance. EMAP also analyzes magnetic core and transformer operation and provides a format for simple power factor correction calculations. Although the program is designed for educational purposes, it can be, and has been, used to solve practical engineering problems
