Convert the three phase current vectors into
two orthogonal vectors that will result In the

convert 3-phase motor to 2-phase motor.

id and iq are handled independently. Since the comparison is
performed in the rotating frame, AC frequency is not seen. Thus,
they are DC quantities!
Under normal conditions, we have all the
d-axis flux we need supplied by the permanent
magnets in the rotor. So commanded id is set to
zero.
This is how much torque we want!
id can however be used to weaken the field of the machine.
iq controls the amount of torque generated by the motor.

high voltages, Current controlled device.
 Both the MOSFET and IGBT devices are
voltage controlled devices.
 Control of the MOSFET and IGBT
devices much easier.

41. MOSFET

 No thermal runaway
 Small on state resistance

Where: RDS-ON = drain-to-source on-state resistance
Irms = drain-to-source rms current

42. IGBT
 Voltage controlled device
 Advantages of both Power MOSFET and
BJT
 Slower switching device
 Asymmetric blocking capacity
 Conductivity Modulation
 PLOSS = Iave *VCE-SAT
Where:
VCE-SAT = Collector-to-emitter saturation voltage
Iave = collector-to-emitter average current

43. MOSFET vs IGBT
 IGBTs are slower than MOSFETs.
 IGBT has a very low on-state voltage
drop due to conductivity modulation and
has superior on-state current density.

45. Freewheeling Diode
 A Freewheeling diode is a diode used to
eliminate the sudden voltage spike seen
across an inductive load when its supply
voltage is suddenly reduced or removed.

46. Operation with Freewheeling Diode

47. Back EMF
 When a BLDC motor rotates, each winding generates a
voltage known as back EMF, which opposes the main
voltage supplied to the windings according to Lenz’s
Law.
 It depends on,
Angular velocity of the rotor
Magnetic field generated by rotor magnets
The number of turns in the stator windings
 Equation is as,
Back EMF = (E) ∝ NlrBω

48. Continued…..
 Back-EMF refers to conclude the speed of the
motor's rotation.
 Steps:
i. Provide current to the Motor windings
(as a constant voltage or a PWM motor input to
vary the speed).
ii. Remove the current from the windings and
"float" them.
 The time required for the motor to flip from a
motor to a generator depends on the stored
charge in the induction of the motor windings.

51. INDUCTION MOTOR

52. CONTENTS
 Introduction the induction motor.
 Stator and Rotor construction.
 RMF Generation.
 Induced EMF and its direction.
 Motor speed and Slip.
 Torque vs speed and torque vs slip.
 Need of V/F.
 Block diagram of V/F control.
 Comparison of V/F and Vector control.

53. INDUCTION MOTOR
•Motors operate on principle of Induction and hence the
name “Induction Motors” is used
•Motors also known as AC motors because Alternating
Current (AC) is required
•All AC motors are “brushless”
–No mechanical contacts to wear
–Requires AC source
–If used, inverter creates desired freq and magnitude
of AC
•AC induction motors for lower cost applications
–Single speed applications: fan, blower, pump,
compressor
–No control, just start the AC power source
–Relays are used for ON/OFF

54. STATOR CONSTROCTION
•Stator has windings with lamination to–Create
strong magnetic field–Maintain continuous flux
•Three phase motor windings are sinusoidal
around the stator to produce a roughly
sinusoidal distribution in flux
•When three phase AC voltages are applied to the
stator windings, a rotating magnetic field is
produced–The rotating magnetic field of the
stator drags the rotor around.

55. ROTOR CONSTRUCTION
Squirrel cage construction
–Behaves like shorted 3-
phase windings
–Rotor bars are often
skewed to prevent
cogging
–No magnets or windings

56. ROTATING MAGNETIC FIELD

57. INDUCED EMF
 Voltage is induced by following the Lenz Law. So
rotor will rotate in same direction as that of RMF,
to minimize the relative flux cutting.
STATOR
ROTOR

58. INDUCTION MOTOR SPEED
 So, the IM will always run at a speed lower than the
synchronous speed
 The difference between the motor speed and the
synchronous speed is called the Slip
Where nslip= slip speed
nsync= speed of the magnetic field
nm = mechanical shaft speed of the motor
slip sync mn n n= −

59. THE SLIP

Where s is the slip
Notice that : if the rotor runs at synchronous speed
s = 0
if the rotor is stationary
s = 1
Slip may be expressed as a percentage by multiplying the above
eq. by 100, notice that the slip is a ratio and doesn’t have units

60. SLIP CAUSES…..
1) Fr = s*F
2) E2r = s*E2
 Where
 Fr: Frequency of Induced Voltage
 F: Applied Frequency
 E2r: Induced EMF in Rotor
 E2: Max. induced EMF in Secondary.

63. SPEED TORQUE CHARACTERISTICS POTTED BASED ON CHANGES
IN SLIP
Explanation

64. Induced Torque is zero at synchronous speed.
‡
The graph is nearly linear between no load and full load (at near
synchronous speeds).
‡
Max torque is known as pull out torque or breakdown torque
‡
Starting torque is very large.
‡
Torque for a given slip value would change to the square of the applied
voltage.
‡
If the rotor were driven faster than synchronous speed, the motor
would then become a generator.
‡
If we reverse the direction of the stator magnetic field, it would act as
a braking action to the rotor

65. WHY V/F
Ns = (120*F)/P
 Constant Torque Applications.
T α sR(E2)2
R2 + (sx)2
 Avoid core saturation
Φg α (V/f).
 Vector control gives high torque at low RPM
 Long distance controlling is easier with V/f
 In V/f single drive can drive more than 1 motor.
