Braking and 4 Quadrants Operation: Subsynchronous converter cascades have been used, till now, in applications requiring one quadrant operation. These can be employed for drives where at least one electrical…
Speed Control Using Slip Energy Recovery Schemes: The foregoing discussion makes it very clear that the methods of voltage control and rotor resistance control have poor efficiency, particularly at low…
3 Phase Induction Motor Construction: A converter fed 3 Phase Induction Motor Construction has the following advantages over a line fed motor: 1.Smooth start up is guaranteed by variable frequency…
Control of DC Electric Motor: A separately excited DC Electric Motor is very versatile as a variable speed motor. Its speed can be varied by varying the applied voltage to…
Principle of Superposition Theorem: The Principle of Superposition Theorem states that in any linear network containing two or more sources, the response in any element is equal to the algebraic…
Cycloconverter: A variable frequency supply for feeding a three phase motor can be obtained from a cycloconverter which operates on a 50 Hz supply and provides a variable frequency supply…
Voltage Control Techniques for Inverters: It has already been mentioned that Inverter Control providing a variable frequency supply to three phase motors should be capable of providing a variable voltage.…
Features of Variable Voltage Inverters: The inverter has an impressed dc voltage. The output voltage of the inverter is decided by the firing and duration of the thyristors. The conduction…
