, the advent of theASD is a new and exciting opportunity. The ASD provides flexibility in teaching energy conversion thatwas heretofore difficult to obtain. It provides new challenges that require understanding of concepts andnew developments from a range of disciplines, as will be explained in detail later in this paper. In teaching energy conversion, fixed frequency ac sources have typically been the norm in mosttexts [6-14] and with most educational equipment manufacturers. Because nearly any reasonablecombination of torque and speed is now available from the ASD-driven machine, a whole new range ofteaching and experimental possibilities open up.
