Control of Electrical Drives

Phase Locked Loop Control

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 achieve a speed regulatio of 0.2%. The Phase Locked Loop Control (PLL) can achieve a speed regulation as low as 0.002% which can be useful […]

Current Sensing of Electrical Drives

Current Sensing of Electrical Drives: Current Sensing of Electrical Drives is required for the implementation of current limit control, inner current control loop of closed-loop speed control, closed-loop torque control of a dc drive, for sensing fault conditions, and for sensing speed in dc drives by back emf sensing method. In order to avoid interaction

Current Limit Control of Drives

Current Limit Control of Drives: Current Limit Control of Drives scheme of Fig. 3.3 is employed to limit the converter and motor current below a safe limit during transient operations. It has a current feedback loop with a threshold logic circuit. As long as the current is within a set maximum value, feedback loop does

Speed Control and Drive Classification

Speed Control and Drive Classification: Speed Control and Drive Classification are the Drivers where the driving motor runs at a nearly fixed speed are known as Constant Speed or Single Speed Drives. Multi-speed drives are those which operate at discrete speed settings. Drives needing stepless change in speed and multispeed drives are called Variable Speed

Modes of Operation of Electrical Drive

Modes of Operation of Electrical Drive: Three types of Modes of Operation of Electrical Drive: Steady-State Acceleration including starting Deceleration including stopping As we know already, steady-state operation takes place when motor torque equals the load torque. The steady-state operation for a given speed is realized by the adjustment of steady-state motor speed-torque curve such
