Reversible Drive using Field Reversal: A Reversible Drive using Field Reversal can be realised as shown in Figs. 4.83 and 4.84. In Fig. 4.83, the armature is fed from a…
Reversible Drive using Armature Current Reversal: A schematic of a reversible drive using contactors to reverse the Armature Current Reversal for reversing the rotation is shown kin Fig. 4.81. The…
Chopper Fed DC Drives: The variable voltage to the armature of a dc motor for speed control can be obtained from a dc chopper which is a single stage dc…
Methods to Leading Power Factor: We have seen that a phase controlled converter requires reactive power for control and commutation. The harmonics do not contribute to the active power loading…
Three Phase Drives: Single phase drives discussed in the previous section are employed for low and medium powers. When the power of the drive is very large the three-phase converter…
Single Phase DC Series Motor Drives: In the Single Phase DC Series Motor Drives the field is connected in series with the armature. The field current is the same as…
Single Phase Separately Excited DC Motor Drives: The circuit arrangement of a Single Phase Separately Excited DC Motor Drives Drives fed from a single phase controlled converter is shown in…
Commutation in DC Motor: Commutation and commutator wear and tear of the dc motor must be given due consideration when the motor operates on solid state converters. Spark-less commutation must…
