AC DRIVES
AC motor Drives are used in many industrial and domestic
application, such as in conveyer, lift, mixer, escalator etc.
The AC motor have a number of advantages :
• Lightweight (20% to 40% lighter than equivalent DC motor)
• Inexpensive
• Low maintenance
The Disadvantages AC motor :
* The power control relatively complex and more expensive
There are two type of AC motor Drives :
1. Induction Motor Drives
2. Synchronous Motor Drives

drives (ASD).

The stator winding are supplied with balanced three-phase AC voltage,
which produce induced voltage in the rotor windings. It is possible to
arrange the distribution of stator winding so that there is an effect of
multiple poles, producing several cycle of magnetomotive force (mmf) or
field around the air gap.
The speed of rotation of field is called the synchronous speed s , which
is defined by :

These resistors Rx are used to control motor starting and stopping
anywhere from reduced voltage motors of low horsepower up to
large motor applications such as materials handling, mine hoists,
cranes etc.
The most common applications are:
AC Wound Rotor Induction Motors – where the resistor is wired into the
motor secondary slip rings and provides a soft start as resistance is
removed in steps.
AC Squirrel Cage Motors – where the resistor is used as a ballast for soft
starting also known as reduced voltage starting.
DC Series Wound Motors – where the current limiting resistor is wired to
the field to control motor current, since torque is directly proportional to
current, for starting and stopping.
The developed torque may be varying the resistance Rx
The torque-speed characteristic for variations in rotor resistance
This method increase the starting torque while limiting the starting current.
The wound rotor induction motor are widely used in applications requiring
frequent starting and braking with large motor torque (crane, hoists, etc)
The three-phase resistor may be replaced by a three-phase diode rectifier
and a DC chopper. The inductor Ld acts as a current source Id and the DC
chopper varies the effective resistance:
Re  R(1  k )

Example:
A three-phase induction motor, 460, 60Hz, six-pole, Y connected, wound rotor
that speed is controlled by slip power such as shown in Figure below. The
motor parameters are Rs=0.041 W, Rr’=0.044 W, Xs=0.29 W, Xr’=0.44 W and
Xm=6.1 W. The turn ratio of the rotor to stator winding is nm=Nr/Ns=0.9. The
inductance Ld is very large and its current Id has negligible ripple.
The value of Rs, Rr’, Xs and Xr’ for equivalent circuit can be considered
negligible compared with the effective impedance of Ld. The no-load of motor is
negligible. The losses of rectifier and Dc chopper are also negligible.
The load torque, which is proportional to speed square is 750 Nm at 1175 rpm.
(a) If the motor has to operate with a minimum speed of 800 rpm, determine
the resistance R, if the desired speed is 1050 rpm,
(b) Calculate the inductor current Id.
(c) The duty cycle k of the DC chopper.
(d) The voltage Vd.
(e) The efficiency.
(f) The power factor of input line of the motor.
