This paper presents a simulation model for a large chipper drive used in a paper mill.If the chipper drive is a slip ring induction motor, several advantages arise from using a rheostat in the rotor circuit.This paper will investigate the impact of a rotor circuit rheostat with respect to starting behavior and heavy duty load impulses.The chipper drive is modeled in Modelica, an object oriented multi domain simulation language.In addition to the theory, a practical case is presented to demonstrate the applicability of the derived knowledge.
