UNIT-IINTRODUCTION TO ELECTRICAL DRIVES
 
robots, pumps, machine tools, etc. Prime movers are required in drive systems to provide the
 
sources: di esel engines, petrol engines, hydraulic motors, electric motors etc.
 
There are several advantages of electrical drives:
 
a. Flexi ble control characteristic
 – 
This is particularly true when power electronic
 
converters are employed where the dynamic and steady state characteristics of the motor
 
can be controlled by controlling the applied voltage or current.
 
b. Available in wide range of speed, torque and power
 
c. High efficiency, lower noi se, low maintenance requirements and cleaner operation
 
d. Electric energy is easy to be transported.
 
A typical conventional electric drive system for variable speed application employing multi-
 
machine system is shown in Figure 1. The system is obviously bul ky, expensive, inflexible and
 
require regular maintenance. In the past, induction and synchronous machines were used for
 
constant speed applications
 – 
this was mainly because of the unavailabili ty of variable frequency
 
supply.
 
Drives are employed for systems that require motion control
 – 
e.g. transportation system, fans,
 
movement or motion and energy that is used to provide the motion can come fromvarious
 
Drives that use electric motors as the prime movers are known as electrical drives
 
W ith the advancement of power electronics, microprocessors and digital electronics, typical
 
electric drive systems nowadays are becoming more compact, efficient, cheaper and versatile
 – 
 
this is shown in Figure 2. The voltage and current applied to the motor can be changed at will
 
by employing power electronic converters. AC motor is no longer limited to applicationwhere
 
only AC source is available, however, it can also be used when the power source available is DC
 
or vice versa
