Dynamics of the motor load system


Fundamental torque equations
 Motor drives the load through the transmission system (belt, gear) with rotating
motion.
 Load can be rotating or linear and the speed may be differ.

Ωm

T TL

J= moment of inertia of the motor load reference to the motor shaft Kg-m2
Ωm= instantaneous angular velocity of the motor shaft, rad/sec
T= torque developed in the motor shaft, N-m
TL= load torque (resistance) referred to the motor shaft.
• The torque developed in the motor is counter balanced by load torque TL and the
dynamic equation JdΩm/dt
• JdΩm/dt it is present during the transient operation
• Drive accelerate are decelerate depend upon weather T is greater than TL
During acceleration:
motor should drive not only the TL but also additional component JdΩm/dt to
over come the drive inertia (eg: trains)
For fast response system:
motor torque should be higher and load system should have low inertia.
During deceleration:
the dynamic torque equation (JdΩm/dt) will change its sign
• The JdΩm/dt will maintain the drive speed with the stored kinetic energy.
• If the kinetic energy of the load (braking torque of the motor to get deceleration)
is high then the system response will be less.

• For fast response system the braking torque should be high inertia of the motor
load system should be low.
• If transient occurs at the motor speed for short duration dynamic torque will
maintain the speed of the motor (eg: pressing M/C)
• To overcome this fluctuation flywheel is mounted on the shaft
Components of load torque (TL)
• Friction torque TF
This was present in the motor shaft and also various parts of the load and motor
• Windage torque TW

• Torque require to do the useful mechanical work TM

• The value of stiction is higher at standstill.


• The value will be zero when running.
• For starting the drive the motor should exceed at least this stiction torque

• Selection of equilibrium operating point


Selection of equilibrium operating point
• At the steady state operation motor torque is equal to load torque
• If there is any small perturbation speed will restore after small departure
• Motor is assumed to be electrically equilibrium for all operating points

3. MATHEMATICAL CONDITION FOR STEADY STATE STABILITY

If oscillations die
 If the load has appreciable viscous friction these oscillations may die out quickly.
If oscillations not die
• If the absents of such viscous friction may result very worst performance of drive.
• Only it will die if the slops of the motor and load T-ω Characteristics at the point
of the intersection are favorable.
• if Tm-TL≠ 0 the torque equation will become Tm-TL= J dω/dt.
J= moment of inertia of the shaft W.R.T time
• For small perturbation in the operating point.
ie Tm = Tm + ∆Tm
TL = TL + ∆TL
ω = ω + ∆ω
∆Tm, ∆TL, ∆ω- new operating point.
Perturbation torque equation
d∆ω/dt = dTm/dω ∆ω - dTL/dω ∆ω

where dTm/dω & dTL/dω =K


K=torque constant

4. MULTI QUADRANT DYNAMICS IN THE SPEED TORQUE PLANE


 Different types of drive system
 Constant power drives
 Various speed transitions

Different types of drive system


• If the drive is said to be operating at rated speed of natural supply such drive are
called single speed drive

www.Vidyarthiplus.com
www.Vidyarthiplus.com

• Some drive need starting and some times braking such drives are called multi
speed drive
• Some drive need steeples control such drives are called variable speed drive
• No of motors are controlled simultaneously such drive are called multi motor
drives

Constant power drives


• Variable speed drive is said to be constant power drive when the maximum power
handling capacity does not change with the speed
• Then the drives said to be operating at constant power mode
• “constant power” refers to power handling capacity of drive not the supply
no load speed – full load speed
Speed regulation = full load speed
• If the open loop fail to provide speed regulation then the closed loop drive will
operate
• The range of the desired speed depends upon the application

5. TYPICAL LOAD TORQUE CHARACTERISTICS

Motor Load Types


Constant Torque Load
In this group, the torque demanded by the load is constant throughout the speed change

The load requires the same amount of torque at low speeds as at high speeds. Loads of
this type is essentially friction loads

Torque = lb-ft
Speed = RPM
Examples: Conveyors, Extruders, and Surface
Winders
Constant horsepower Load
The horsepower demanded by the load is constant within the speed range. The load
requires high torque at low speeds.

Examples: Center-driven winders and Machine tool spindles

Variable torque load

Load horsepower and torque characteristics


Constant horsepower, torque varies inversely with speed

Applications: Metal cutting tools operating over wide speed range, mixer,
extruder and special machines where operation at low speed may be continuous
Constant torque, horsepower varies as the speed

Applications: General machinery hoists, conveyors, printing press


Horsepower varies as square of the speed, torque varies with speed

Applications: Positive displacement pumps, some mixers, some extruders


Horsepower varies as cube of the speed, torque varies as square of speed

Applications: All centrifugal pumps and some fans (Note that fan power
may vary as the power of speed)
High inertial loads

Applications: Are typically associated with machines using flywheel to


supply most of the operating energy, punch press
Shock loads

Applications: Drives of crushers, separators, grinders, conveyors, and


vehicular systems
 Power converters and motors can be damaged if they are not protected from the
overload conditions

6. ACCELERATION, DECELERATION, STARTING AND STOPPING


Acceleration & de-acceleration
• Point A indicates the steady stability.
• Point B indicates the equilibrium operating point.
• Point C desires the operation of drives load torque Tl2.
Perturbation in point A
• Small increase in speed leads to increase in load torque greater than motor torque.
• Result in shift in operating point to the load torque region.
• So de-acceleration will occur in the drive.
• Motor will tends to accelerate to maintain its region at A.

ωm

A Motor torque T

Load torque TL2


C

Perturbation in point B
• Due to the increase in speed causes the motor torque exceeds the load torque.
• The drive will accelerate to the new point B.
• Small decrease in speed results in de-acceleration to maintain the point B.
• Result in unstable equilibrium point.

Perturbation in point C Torque


• B and C lie on the part of the motor speed-torque characteristics.
• C provides the stable operation but not B.
• So point C shows that the equilibrium operating of drive depends on both motor
and load.
• In this curve point B and C located in positive slope so it is operating in unstable
region.
Starting
• The maximum current that a D.C motor can safely carry during transients of short
duration is limited by the maximum armature current that can be commutated
without sparking.
In Theoretical approach
• The commutating pole winding will cancel out all voltages opposing the
commutation at all values of speed and current.
In Practical approach
• The sparking will be there due to the currents above the rated value.

In general
• With out use of starter the full load terminal voltage will be 20 times more than
the rated current.
• So these current will damage the commutator and windings.
• We can prevent these by introducing the starter or series resistors (for large M/C)
it will cut off gradually.
Braking
• During braking the motor will run as a generator.
• The torque developed will be opposite and converts electrical energy to
mechanical energy.
• This can be obtain either storing the inertia in rotor or by active load torque.
