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…
Single Phase Half Controlled Rectifier Control of DC Separately Excited Motor: Single Phase Half Controlled Rectifier Control is shown in Fig. 5.29(a). In a cycle of source voltage defined by Eq.…
Single Phase Fully Controlled Rectifier Control of DC Motor: The Single Phase Fully Controlled Rectifier Control of DC Motor is shown in Fig. 5.26(a). Motor is shown by its equivalent…
Ward Leonard Method of Speed Control: Known after the name of its inventor Ward Leonard Method of Speed Control (1891), it consists of a separately excited generator feeding the dc…
