Introduction • An electric drive system consisting of electric motor, its power controller and energy transmitting shaft consisting of load • Types of Drive system • DC Drive • AC Drive • AC Drives are mostly used in Industry.
Advantages and disadvantages of AC Drives compare to DC Drives • Advantages of ac drives 1. For the same rating, ac motors are lighter in weight as compared to dc motors. 2. AC motors require low maintenance. 3. AC motors are less expensive. 4. AC motors can work in dangerous areas like chemical, petrochemical etc. • Disadvantage of ac drives 1.Power converters for the control of ac motors are more complex. 2.Power converter for ac drives are more expensive. 3.Power converters for ac drives generate harmonics in the supply system and load circuit.
Industrial applications Induction motors with squirrel cage rotors are the workhorse of industry because of their low cost and rugged construction. When Squirrel cage induction machine is operated directly from the line voltages(60 Hz/50 Hz essentially constant voltage) an Induction motor is operated at constant speed. However in the industry we required to vary the speed of an Induction motor. This can be done by Induction motor drives. Main application of Induction Motor drives: Fans, Compressor, Pumps, blowers, machine tools like lathe, drilling machine, lifts, conveyer belts etc.
Methods of Speed Control of Induction motors • Stator voltage Control • Stator Frequency Control • Stator Current Control • V/F Control • Slip power recovery Control ( Wound Rotor Induction Machine)
Curve of the behavior of the Induction Machine • During start up. Normally draws up to seven times the rated current. • Normally delivers approximately 1.5 the rated torque, when starting • When operating at base speed if the load is increased, the motor will start slowing down and the slip will increase. • But if the load is increased beyond the Break down torque, the machine wont be able to recover.
V/Hz Theory Background • The induction motor draws the rated current and delivers the rated torque at the base speed. • As mentioned before the motor can take up to 2.5 load increase, with 20% drop in the speed.
Description of the principle • Assume the voltage applied to the Motor is AC, and the voltage drop across the Armature resistance very small. Then at the steady state we get: • (Voltage applied at the stator, and Flux) • Since the V/f relation keeps constant, then the flux remains constant and the torque is independent of the supplied frequency.
Description of the Principle • Since the flux is maintained constant, the toque developed depends only on the slip speed. • Huge starting torque can be obtained without heating-up the machine

Rotor Reference speed and Actual Speed Reference Speed is changed from 104.71 rad/sec to 92.24 rad/sec
Conclusion • In Case of Squirrel cage induction motor the slip cannot be increase above certain limit, the operating speed range is very less. By applying the V/F control we can get the large operating range by keeping V/F ratio constant.
