Abstract

Nowadays computer simulation has been an important tool in teaching. In this paper, MATLAB /SIMULINK and PSPICE are used to deepen the undergraduate students understanding of power electronics and electric drive system. The RCD snubber circuit, DC/AC three-phase inverter circuit and the vector control system of induction motor are been designed and analyzed using PSPICE and MATLAB/SIMULINK respectively. The performance of various designs are tested by plotting the current, voltage, speed response and other waveforms using the graphics postprocessor Probe and MATLAB workspace. The examples can be implemented in class and in class projects or undergraduate design projects. The response was positive
