This document discusses speed control methods for three-phase induction motors. It describes various speed control techniques including stator voltage control, stator frequency control, V/F control, and static rotor resistance control. It explains the advantages of speed control, such as energy savings and meeting different process requirements. Industrial applications of induction motor drives are also mentioned, such as in fans, compressors, pumps and machine tools.

3.  A three phase induction motor is basicallyaconstant
speed motor .
 It is widely used in industry due to low cost and
rugged construction .
 The speed control of induction motor is done at the cost
of decrease in efficiency and lowelectrical power factor.

4. Speed control means change the drive speed as desired
by the process to maintain different process
parameter at different load .
Energy Saving.
Speed control is a different concept from speed
regulation where there is natural change in speed due
change in load on theshaft.
 Speed control is eitherdone manually by theoperator
or by means of someautomaticcontrol device.
Low speed startingrequirement.

P
 Slip = Ns-N
Ns
 Torque =

 Ns is the synchronousspeed
 R2 is the rotorresistance
 X2 is the rotor inductive
reactance

7. STATOR VOLTAGE CONTROL USING THYRISTOR

8.  Synchronous speed of induction motor Ns = 120 f
P
 where, f = frequency of the supplyand P = numberof
statorpoles.
 Thus, synchronous speed changes with change in supply
frequency, and thus running speed alsochanges.
 This method is not widely used. This method is used
where, only the induction motor is supplied by a
generator (so that frequency can be easily change by
changing the speed of prime mover).

9.  By changing the frequency we can control the speed above
and below
the rated speed.
 It offers high range of speedcontrol.

10.  Starting torque of IM Ts is proportional to square of
stator current.
 It is independent of supplyfrequency.
 It is independent of rotorresistance.
10

11.  V/F = C
v is voltage and f is called frequency, c=constant
 In sinusoidal pulsewidth modulation thereare multiple
pulses per half-cycle and the width of the each pulse is
varied with respect to the sine wave magnitude
corresponding to thatduration.
 In V/f control we have to maintaintheconstant ratioof
voltage and frequency.
 In order toachieve theconstant ratio ,we have to fire the
(IGBT )in such way that the amplitude of output voltage
waveform in a cycle will maintain the v/f ratio according
the frequencychange.
 Waveforms are shown on nextslide

13.  A slip ring motor or a phase wound motor is an
induction motor which can be started with full line
voltage, applied across its stator terminals. The value
of starting current is adjusted by adding up external
resistance to its rotorcircuit.

15. Instead of wasting the slip power in the rotor circuit
resistance, a better approach is to convert it to ac line
power and return it back to the line. Two types of
converter provide this approach:
1) Static Kramer Drive - only allows operation at
sub-synchronous speed.
2) Static Scherbius Drive - allows
operation above and below
synchronous speed

18. Advantages of ac drives
18
 For the same rating, ac drives are lighter in weight as
compared to dc drive.
 AC drive require low maintenance.
 AC drives are less expensive.
 Provides the most efficient means of motor speed control.
 Reduces the thermal and mechanical stresses on the motor.
 Provides low speed motor starting facility.
 Saves more energy

19.  Induction motors with squirrel cage rotors are the
workhorse of industry .
 When Squirrel cage induction machine is operated
directly from the line voltages an Induction motor is
operated at constant speed. However in the industry we
required to vary the speed of an Induction motor. This
can be done by Induction motor drive.
 Fans, Compressor, Pumps, blowers, machine tools like
lathe, drilling machine, lifts, conveyer belts etc.
