3 0 2 4

COURSE OBJECTIVE:
• To understand steady state operation and transient dynamics of a motor load system.
• To study and analyze the operation of the converter / chopper fed dc drive, induction
and synchronous AC drives.
• To analyze and design the current and speed controllers for a closed loop solid state
DC motor drive.

COURSE CONTENT:
Drive Characteristic
Electric drive – Equations governing motor load dynamics – steady state stability – multi
quadrant Dynamics: acceleration, deceleration, starting & stopping – typical load torque
characteristics – heating and cooling curves – Loading conditions and classes of duty –
Selection of power rating for drive motors with regard to thermal overloading and Load
variation factors

Solid State DC Motor Drive

Steady state analysis of the single and three phase converter fed separately excited DC motor
drive–continuous conduction – Time ratio and current limit control – 4 quadrant operation of
converter and chopper fed drive-Applications

Induction Motor Drive

Solid State stator voltage control–V/f control– Rotor Resistance control-qualitative treatment
of slip power recovery drives-closed loop control–– vector control.

Synchronous Motor Drives

Solid state V/f control and self-control of synchronous motor: Margin angle control and
power factor control-Permanent magnet synchronous motor.

Design of Controllers for Drives

Transfer function for DC motor / load and converter – closed loop control with Current and
speed feedback–armature voltage control and field weakening mode – Design of controllers;
current controller and speed controller- converter selection and characteristics.

List of Experiments:
1. Speed control of Converter fed DC motor
2. Speed control of Chopper fed DC motor
3. Micro controller-based speed control of Stepper motor
4. V/f control of three-phase induction motor
5. Speed control of BLDC motor
