LabVIEW based induction machines laboratory for engineering education

The Laboratory session in any engineering program particularly in Electrical Engineering is critical as these Labs are designed for students in accordance with theoretical course work. Software based Laboratory experiments have become current day need due to its impacts on flexible learning of students and understanding abilities. This motivation deals with Simulation of Induction Machines Laboratory experiments which are part of Lab work at undergraduate Electrical Engineering level using Laboratory Virtual Instrument Engineering Workbench (LabVIEW). The reason behind the selection of LabVIEW software among others is because of its strong graphical interface, user friendly tools and highly understandable approach. After completion of this software based Induction Machines Lab session along with hardware experiments, students will be in better position to attain strong concepts for one of the core Electrical Engineering subject. Moreover, LabView based Induction Machines Lab is economical and user friendly.
