Step 1: Let’s look at a Typical Motor

1PH7 Cut away view
What did we learn?
Three Couplings
Mechanical: Between Load and Rotor
Magnetic: Between Rotor and Stator
Electrical: Stator and Inverter (Drive)
The strength of these couplings, will dictate how tightly the
Load can be controlled

Vector Control Looks Like a DC Motor
What did we learn?
An AC Motor using Vector Control Mimics a DC Motor
Advantage: AC Motor’s ROTOR weighs less than the DC
Motor’s ARMATURE; therefore faster acceleration or speed
reversals.
AC Motor Maintenance schedule is more attractive than DC
Motor

Rated Rotor Nameplated Speed Slip Rated Stator Speed
What did we learn?
Slip is a RPM Value not % of speed. (ie: 1785 RPM motor
has 15 RPM of Slip)
The “Little” triangle not only describes the rated speed
conditions but any condition on the speed/torque curve
including Zero Speed.
In the previous example the numbers were distorted to make it
easier to see. 100% Torque point is at 57.5 Hz. For a 4 pole
motor Rated Nameplate speed would then be
(120*57.5/4)=1725 RPM. Slip would equal 1800-1725=75
RPM.
To develop full torque at zero speed 75 RPM of slip would be
required.
Why use an Encoder / Tachless Mode or
Volts/Hz?
Each Mode has unique Advantages
Volts/Hz
No feedback required
Accurate Motor Data not as important
Torque at zero speed not required
Tachless Mode
No feedback required
Tighter Speed Control
Vector Mode with Encoder Feedback
Required when actual numbers needed
Better control at zero speed
