This educational motiveis achieved by permitting a simple way to enter Synchronous Machine (S/M) parameters andimmediately see interactive results all in the familiar software environment of MathCAD®. Avisual depiction of an axial cutaway view of a S/M is automatically produced and isaccompanied by a corresponding phasor diagram. To further enhance S/M understanding, thetool visually depicts changes to electrical and magnetic parameters as the user graduallyadvances through full
