INTRODUCTION

• The system which is used for controlling the motion of an

electrical machine, such type of system is called an
electrical drive.

• In other words, the drive which uses the electric motor is

called electrical drive.

WHAT IS AN ELECTRIC DRIVE?
 An Electric Drive can be defined as, a system which is
used to control the movement of an electrical machine.
An electric drive can be built with an electric drive
motor as well as a complicated control system to control
the motor’s rotation shaft.

PARTS OF ELECTRICAL DRIVE
 The main parts of the electrical drives are:
 Power Sources
 Motor
 Power modulator
 Controlling Unit
 Sensing Units

 Their parts are explained below in details:

PARTS OF ELECTRICAL DRIVE
(CONTN..)
 Power sources:
There are two types of power sources:
 Ac
 Dc

PARTS OF ELECTRICAL DRIVE
(CONTN..)
 Motor:

There are two types of motors:

 AC motors
 DC motors

 Power Modulator:
-The power modulator regulates the output power of the
source. It controls the power from the source to the motor
in such a manner that motor transmits the speed-torque
characteristic required by the load.

PARTS OF ELECTRICAL DRIVE
(CONTN..)
 Control Unit –
The control unit controls the power modulator which
operates at small voltage and power levels. The control
unit also operates the power modulator as desired.
 Sensing Unit –
It senses the certain drive parameter like motor current
and speed. It mainly required either for protection or for
closed loop operation.

ADVANTAGES & DISADVANTAGES OF
ELCTRICAL DRIVE
 The following are the advantages of electrical
drive:
 The electric drive has very large range of torque,
speed and power.
 The electric drives are free from pollution.
 The drive can easily be started and it does not require
any refuelling.
 The efficiency of the drives is high because fewer
losses occur on it.

11
ADVANTAGES & DISADVANTAGES OF
ELCTRICAL DRIVE(CONTN..)
 Thefollowing are the disadvantages of electrical
drive:
 It can cause noise pollution.
 The initial cost of the system is high.
 It has a poor dynamic response.
 The output power obtained from the drive is low.

12
APPLICATIONS OF ELECTRIC
DRIVE
 Itis used in a large number of industrial and
domestic applications like –
 Transportation systems
 Rolling mills
 Paper machines
 Textile mills
 Machine tools
 Robots and washing

etc.
