Duty Cycle of Traction Drives: The Duty Cycle of Traction Drives in trains is explained with the help of speed-, torque- and power-time diagrams (Fig. 10.6) which are drawn for…
Coefficient of Adhesion in Traction: In Coefficient of Adhesion in Traction, the task of driving equipment consists of pushing the carriage on which it is mounted and pulling coaches and…
Switched Reluctance Motor: The switched reluctance motor (SRM) has both salient pole stator and rotor, like variable stepper motor, but they are designed for different applications, and therefore, with different…
Self Controlled Synchronous Motor Drive: A Self Controlled Synchronous Motor Drive employing a load commutated thyristor inverter is shown in Fig. 7.10. In large power drives wound field synchronous motor…
Braking of Single Phase Induction Motor: These motors can be braked by dc dynamic and plugging. The Braking of Single Phase Induction Motor are DC Dynamic Braking: It is commonly used…
Single Phase Induction Motor Types: Single Phase Induction Motor Types - As far as normal running is concerned, a single winding is sufficient. But all motors must be self start.…
Rotor Resistance Control of Induction Motor: Speed-torque curves for Rotor Resistance Control of Induction Motor are given in Fig. 6.50. While maximum torque is independent of rotor resistance, speed at…
Voltage Source Inverter Control of Induction Motor: Variable frequency and variable voltage supply for induction motor control can be obtained either from a voltage sourve inverter (VSI) or a cycloconverter.…
