Sinusoidal PMAC Motor: Since the voltages induced in the stator phases of a sinusoidal PMAC motor are sinusoidal, ideally, the three stator phases must be supplied with variable frequency sinusoidal…
Synchronous Motors Types: Commonly used Synchronous Motors Types are: wound field, permanent magnet, synchronous reluctance and hysteresis motors. All these motors have a stator with a 3-phase winding, which is…
Variable Speed Constant Frequency Generator: Variable Speed Constant Frequency Generator (VSCF) involves generation of electrical power at fixed frequency and fixed voltage from a variable speed prime mover coupled to…
Unbalanced Rotor Impedance Operation: Earlier Unbalanced Rotor Impedance Operation were employed for starting and speed control. They are not in use any more. However, a loose contact in the rotor…
Drawbacks of Rectifier Fed DC Drives: Drawbacks of Rectifier Fed DC Drives are as follows: 1. Distortion of Supply: Source current of a rectifier has harmonics. In a weak ac…
DC Motor Reversing Switch Diagram: DC Motor Reversing Switch Diagram is shown in Fig. 5.34(a). A fully-controlled rectifier feeds the motor through a reversing switch RS which is used to…
Transient Analysis of DC Motor: Starting, braking, reversing speed changing and load changing are the Transient Analysis of DC Motor which commonly occur in an industrial drive. One is interested…
Types of DC Motor: The commonly used Types of DC Motor are shown in Fig. 5.1. In a separately excited motor, the field and armature voltages can be controlled independent…
