Braking of Induction Motor Drive: Following methods are employed for Braking of Induction Motor Drive: Regenerative braking Plugging or reverse voltage braking Dynamic (or rheostatic) braking further categorised as: ac…
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…
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…
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…
Motor Power Rating Articles: Selection of Motor Power Rating: The Selection of Motor Power Rating of a motor for a specific application must be carefully chosen to achieve economy with…
Phase Locked Loop Control(PLL): A PI controller ideally should provide perfect speed regulation. However, due to imperfections in sensing and control circuits, the closed-loop schemes described earlier can at best…
Closed Loop Torque Control of Drives: Closed Loop Torque Control of Drives scheme of Fig. 3.4 finds application in battery operated vehicles, rail cars and electric trains. Driver presses the…
Steady State Stability of Drive: Equilibrium speed of a motor-load system is obtained when motor torque equals the load torque. Drive will operate in steady-state at this speed, provided it…
