Converters for Electric Motors

Three Phase AC Voltage Controller

Three Phase AC Voltage Controller: To control the current and voltage of three phase loads, Three Phase AC Voltage Controller are required. The single phase controller described previously can be introduced singly in each phase or line, to form a three phase controller. There exist a variety of connections for Three Phase AC Voltage Controller.

Cycloconverter

Cycloconverter: A variable frequency supply for feeding a three phase motor can be obtained from a cycloconverter which operates on a 50 Hz supply and provides a variable frequency supply at the output (Fig. 3.105). These are single stage frequency conversion devices which make use of both line commutation as well as forced commutation. The

Harmonic Reduction

Harmonic Reduction: The output voltage waveform of an inverter is non-sinusoidal. It contains a rich harmonic content. The Harmonic Reduction cause additional losses and torque pulsations if a three phase motor is used as a load. These torque pulsations pose a problem at low speeds. Therefore it is necessary to improve the voltage waveform of

Three Phase Inverter

Three Phase Inverter: The variable frequency required for the speed control of three phase ac motors is obtained from a Three Phase Inverter. To avoid magnetic saturation and to obtain constant flux conditions in the machine, the voltage fed to the motor must also be varied. Therefore an inverter feeding a three phase motor must

Charging a Capacitor in Inverter

Charging a Capacitor in Inverter: Charging a Capacitor in Inverter – Inverters are static power converters for converting dc to ac. By controlling the conducting periods of the thyristors it is possible to obtain variable frequency at the output terminals of the inverter. This variable frequency supply can be used to feed an ac motor,

Chopper Controlled Resistance

Chopper Controlled Resistance: By interrupting the flow of current through a resistance R in a periodic fashion using a switch, the value of resistance can be effectively varied. The interrup­tion of the current can be accomplished by means of a dc chopper connected across the resistance, working as a switching device. When the chopper is
