MENG 4450, Lesson 3.1. Reading: Kuphaldt, Lessons in Industrial Instrumentation v2.30, section 10.4.1, pages 726 to 729. The animation runs about 190 times slower than a real 60 Hz motor. Bar currents are drawn without the rotor time lag, and speed follows a simple torque model, so the numbers are for understanding, not for design.
