Exploring PSIM's Machine Model Catalog This table lists all of the machine models available in PSIM with a brief description of important details. It is meant to provide a quick overview of what you can do. For a more thorough explanation of each model and the full set of parameters please have a look at the PSIM “Help”…
A full bridge rectifier is analyzed with PSIM using free-run mode and runtime variables. Free-run mode allows a user to run a PSIM simulation and various components of the simulation much the same as they would on the test bench. Runtime variables allow users to change element attributes during the simulation without…
In this video, we introduce the Power Supply Design Suite which has first been released in PSIMv2021a. With the design suite, you can design a resonant LLC converter with only a few mouse clicks. The steady-state solver and design curve tools in combination with the provided design templates make the LLC design task a…
In this video, we introduce the EMI Design Suite which debuted with PSIM 2021a. With the design suite, you can design an EMI filter with a click of a button and then test your design with pre-set or custom EMI standards. This tool can be used for power supplies and motor drives. With version 2021b we have expanded the…
This tutorial video introduces the new variable time step that is available with PSIM version 12 and higher. The video highlights how the variable timestep allows for a faster simulation without reducing the simulation fidelity. The smaller step size is only used at the switch transition points while a coarse step is used…
A boost converter with peak current mode control (PCMC) with a close voltage loop will be designed from open-loop to close-loop with PSIM & SmartCtrl. The open-loop transfer function will be simulated without needing to convert to average models. The sub-harmonic oscillations associated with duty cycles greater than 0.5…
An introduction to the multi-sine AC sweep method to determine the frequency response of a power topology. The multi-sine AC sweep was introduced in PSIM v10 and can be used to determine the transfer function of simple converters like a buck or more complex ones like a 3-phase voltage source inverter.…
