Introduction Control Techniques in Electric Drives: An electric drive is a well established industrial drive as it has several advantages and special features. Its Control Techniques consists in starting, speed…
Electric Motor Power Loss and Heating: An Electric Motor Power Loss and Heating occurring in its various parts such as copper losses occurring in armature and field and eddy currents…
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…
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…
Starting Methods of Synchronous Motor for LCI: It has been pointed out that a Starting Methods of Synchronous Motor for LCI, even though complicated in its construction, has an advantage…
Current Source Inverter Fed Synchronous Motor Drive: A synchronous motor draws a stator current which is independent of stator frequency when V/f and E/f are maintained constant and armature resistance…
Voltage Source Inverter Fed Synchronous Motor Drive: An inverter fed synchronous motor has been very popular as a converter motor in which the synchronous motor is fed from a CSI…
