Study Notes

Speed Control of DC Motors

  • Armature Resistance Control:
    • Involves adding a variable resistor in series with the armature
    • Increases resistance drops more voltage across the resistor, reducing the voltage across the armature, and decreasing the speed
    • Simple but less efficient due to power loss in the resistor
  • Field Flux Control:
    • Varies the strength of the magnetic field through which the motor operates
    • Reduces the field current to decrease the magnetic flux, increasing the speed of the motor
    • Provides a wide range of speed control but can affect the motor torque
  • Armature Voltage Control:
    • Varies the voltage applied to the motor's armature
    • Done using a variable supply voltage or electronically through pulse-width modulation (PWM)
    • Efficient and provides good speed regulation without significant torque loss

Speed Control of AC Motors

  • Pole Changing:
    • Certain AC motors designed with variable pole numbers that can be selected via wiring configurations
    • Changing the number of poles changes the motor's synchronous speed, offering discrete speed options
    • Efficient and simple to implement but doesn't allow for continuous speed control
  • Supply Voltage Variation:
    • For some types of AC motors, varying the supply voltage can influence the speed to a limited extent
    • Less effective and rarely used for precise speed control since AC motor speed is more dependent on frequency than voltage
  • Frequency Control (using VFDs):
    • Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) adjust the frequency of the power supply to the motor
    • Allows for precise speed control and is highly efficient
    • Provides smooth control over a wide range of speeds without sacrificing torque
  • Slip Control (for Slip Ring Induction Motors):
    • Involves controlling the slip of the motor by varying the resistance in the rotor circuit
    • Increases the rotor resistance to increase the slip and decrease the motor speed
    • Allows for good torque characteristics at lower speeds but is less efficient due to power loss in the external resistances

Thyristorized Stator Voltage Control of 3-Phase Induction Motor

  • Principle of Operation:
    • Varies the amplitude of the voltage applied to the motor's stator windings by controlling the firing angle of the thyristors
    • Adjusts the effective RMS voltage applied to the motor windings, thereby controlling the motor speed
  • Circuit Diagram:
    • Consists of three-phase AC power supply, three-phase thyristor bridge converter, triggering circuit, control unit, and three-phase induction motor
  • Operation:
    • Triggering circuit controls the firing of the thyristors in the converter based on the firing angle set by the control unit
    • Adjusting the firing angle controls the amplitude of the output voltage applied to the motor
    • Smooth and continuous speed control over a wide range
  • Advantages:
    • Smooth speed control
    • High efficiency
    • Low starting torque
    • Compact and lightweight
  • Disadvantages:
    • Harmonics generation
    • Complex control
    • Cost

(V/F) Control Method

  • Principle of Operation:
    • Maintains the ratio of voltage to frequency (V/F) constant to achieve stable and efficient motor operation
    • Allows for precise control of the motor speed without compromising torque characteristics
  • Circuit Diagram:
    • Consists of AC power supply, rectifier stage, DC link capacitor, inverter stage, control unit, and three-phase AC induction motor
  • Operation:
    • Rectification: AC power supply is rectified to convert AC to DC
    • DC Link: Rectified DC voltage is smoothed using a DC link capacitor
    • Inversion: Smoothed DC voltage is inverted back to variable-frequency AC using power electronic switches
    • Control: Control unit sets the frequency of the output voltage according to the desired motor speed
    • Voltage is adjusted proportionally to maintain the V/F ratio constant
  • Advantages:
    • Wide speed range
    • High efficiency
    • Smooth starting and stopping
    • Torque control
  • Disadvantages:
    • Limited overload capacity
    • Complex control
    • Harmonic generation
    • Cost

Slip Power Recovery Schemes

  • Principle of Operation:
    • Recovers and converts the slip power (power dissipated in the rotor due to slip) into useful electrical energy
  • Common Slip Power Recovery Schemes:
    • Rotor Resistance Control (Rotor External Resistance Control)
    • Static Scherbius Drive
    • Cycloconverter Drive
  • Advantages:
    • Improved efficiency
    • Energy savings
    • Variable speed control
    • Regenerative braking
  • Disadvantages:
    • Complexity
    • Harmonics and power quality issues
    • Maintenance
    • Cost
