Title :
Modeling Stalled Induction Motors
Author_Institution :

Abstract :
Southern California Edison experienced a slow voltage recovery event in summer of 2004 attributed to stalled air conditioning compressor motors. Simulations using existing load models was not able to reproduce the voltages recorded during the event. Based on tests of a four ton residential air conditioning unit a new model was developed to mimic the stall behavior of induction motors in order to replicate the voltage observed
