Polyphase AC Motors for Traction Drives: Polyphase AC Motors for Traction Drives - Advantages of ac motors over dc we already know. Because of negligible maintenance, ruggedness and higher power…
Traction Motors: Motors Employed in Traction : Earlier, dc series motor was widely used in Traction Motors. It has high starting torque and capability for high torque overloads. With an…
Switched Reluctance Motor: The switched reluctance motor (SRM) has both salient pole stator and rotor, like variable stepper motor, but they are designed for different applications, and therefore, with different…
Operation of Synchronous Motor: Operation of Synchronous Motor - For any speed other than synchronous speed, the relative speed between air gap flux wave and the rotor is not zero.…
Synchronous Motors Types: Commonly used Synchronous Motors Types are: wound field, permanent magnet, synchronous reluctance and hysteresis motors. All these motors have a stator with a 3-phase winding, which is…
Braking of Single Phase Induction Motor: These motors can be braked by dc dynamic and plugging. The Braking of Single Phase Induction Motor are DC Dynamic Braking: It is commonly used…
Variable Frequency Control of Induction Motor Drive: Variable Frequency Control of Induction Motor Drive - Synchronous speed, therefore, the motor speed can be controlled by varying supply frequency. Voltage induced…
Pole Changing of Induction Motor: Pole Changing of Induction Motor - For a given frequency, the synchronous speed is inversely proportional to the number of poles. Synchronous speed, and therefore,…
