electricpy.syncspeed(Npol, freq=60, Hz=False, rpm=False)[source]¶

Synchronous Speed Calculator Function.

Simple method of calculating the synchronous speed of an induction machine given the number of poles in the machine’s construction, and the machine’s operating electrical frequency.

$${\omega }_{\text{syn}}=\frac{2\pi \cdot \text{freq}}{\frac{N_{\text{pol}}}{2}}$$

Parameters:¶

Npol : int¶

Number of electrical poles in machine’s construction.

freq : float, optional¶

Frequency of electrical system in Hertz, default=60

Hz : bool, optional¶

Boolean control to enable return in Hertz. default=False

rpm : bool, optional¶

Boolean control to enable return in rpm. default=False

Returns:¶

wsyn – Synchronous Speed of Induction Machine, defaults to units of rad/sec, but may be set to Hertz or RPM if Hz or rpm set to True.

Return type:¶

float
