Abstract :
This research work is targeted toward developing a system for visually investigating the behavior of electromagnetic fields inside the electrical machines used in the energy conversion laboratory. The proposed system is a modification of an existing one that is based upon two-dimensional finite element solutions of the laboratory machinery interconnected with three program modules to achieve an overall real-time analysis solution of these machines, while hands-on experimentation is in progress. The ultimate goal is to create a mechanism that would enhance the student´s understanding of electromagnetic fields and their use in calculating performance parameters as well as operational concepts pertaining to the practical study of electrical machines
