Starting of Induction Motor Drives: Starting of Induction Motor Drives arrangement is chosen based on the load requirements and nature of supply (weak or stiff). It may be required to…
Harmonic Equivalent Circuit of Induction Motor: When fed from an inverter or cycloconverter, the motor terminal voltage is non-sinusoidal but it has half-wave symmetry. A non-sinusoidal waveform can be resolved…
Unbalanced Rotor Impedance Operation: Earlier Unbalanced Rotor Impedance Operation were employed for starting and speed control. They are not in use any more. However, a loose contact in the rotor…
Three Phase Induction Motors: Three Phase Induction Motors are of two types: squirrel-case and wound-rotor. In squirrel-cage, the rotor consists of longitudinal conductor-bars shorted by circular connectors at the two…
Closed Loop Speed Control of DC Motor: Closed Loop Speed Control of DC Motor - The converters (rectifiers and choppers) are built using semiconductor devices, which have very low thermal…
Chopper Control of Separately Excited DC Motor: Motoring Control : A transistor Chopper Control of Separately Excited DC Motor drive is shown in Fig. 5.41(a). Transistor Tr is operated periodically…
Drawbacks of Rectifier Fed DC Drives: Drawbacks of Rectifier Fed DC Drives are as follows: 1. Distortion of Supply: Source current of a rectifier has harmonics. In a weak ac…
Four Quadrant Drive With Field Reversal: Four Quadrant Drive With Field Reversal as shown in Fig. 5.36, armature is fed from a fully-controlled rectifier and the field from a dual…
