Presented by:
In recent years, there has been a trend toward using variable speed to operate
motors for equipment and systems that provide heating, ventilation, and air
conditioning for buildings.
The higher cost of the AC inverter compared with the DC converter is offset by
the much lower cost of the standard induction motor compared with the DC
motor.
This is true for some applications such as fans and pumps where high
torque is only needed at high speeds.
The rotor shape allows it to act as a fan for cooling the motor.
The biggest single difference is that the current magnitude and wave shape must be
controlled.
MICROPROCESSOR CONTROLED DRIVES:
9) Data acquisition
The microprocessor control a.c drives are widely used in following industrial
applications:
•Fans& pumps
•Compressors
•Paper mills
DRIVE SELECTION:
The drive systems can be divided into two groups, d.c drive systems & a.c
drive systems.
They are:
The invention of power semiconductor saw the advent of d.c drive systems for
most of the early variable speed requirements based on the advantages of simple
construction & easy of control , this technology continued to be taken up for further
improvements allover the world till very recently .
ADVANTAGES:
3) Speed No start -up problems with high torque Large speed setting range without
additional equipment
APPLICATIONS
1) Log carriages,
Veneer lathes
The four important considerations that enter into motor & inverter selection are:
Smaller dimensions
