SYNCHRONOUS SPEED
RPM = 120 x Applied Frequency Number of Poles per Phase

e.g for a 4 POLE & 50 Hz FREQUENCY RPM = 120 X 50 4 = 1500

AC MOTOR REVIEW
In an AC motor, torque varies by: E
2

T = K x F

x I

Line

where : E/F proportional to Motot Flux I is current drawn by the motor

CAUTION
1.Wide Speed Range will not eliminate Gear Reducer
Torque x Speed HP =

5252

Wide Speed Range reduces pulsating torque


2. Define Customers speed range down to machine end

AC Drives vs. DC Drives

AC Drives FEATURES

AC Drives BENEFITS

No commutator/brushes AC motors are more available than DC Power factor is constant across speed range

Low motor maintenance required Decreased down time increases

production savings

Lower operating costs than DC Quicker process response increases production rates Electric reversing = easier setup and operation Higher Motor Reliability Lower installation cost Increased up time

Low rotating inertia per frame size


AC does not require reversing contactor for reversing

AC motors offer more flexible motor

enclosure

Individual isolation transformer not required AC available in bypass mode24
