Better Reliability

Lower Cost

Higher Efficiency Ability to operate in dirty and

explosive environment



The motor drives a load which has a certain

characteristics torque-speed requirement.

In general,

where, k may be an integer of a fraction.

Load



In a feed drive,

In fans and pumps,

The motor can be connected to the load through a setof gears

The gears have teeth ratio and can be treated as torque

transformers

Load



Load horsepower and torque

characteristics

Constant torque, horsepower varies as the speed

printing press



Load horsepower and torque characteristics

Horsepower varies as square of the speed, torque

varies with speed

Pole Changing

Sometimes induction machines have a special

stator winding capable of being externally

connected to form two different number of pole

numbers.

Since the synchronous speed of the induction

machine is given by

this would correspond to changing the synchronous

speed.

The two coils on A & C may be connected in series in twodifferent ways ² A2 may be connected to C1 or C2.

A1 with the other terminal at C then form the terminals of

the overall combination.



For a given direction of current flow at terminal A1, say into terminal A1, the

flux directions within the poles are shown in the figures.

In case (a), the flux lines are out of the pole A (seen from the rotor) for andinto pole C, thus establishing a two-pole structure.

In case (b) however, the flux lines are out of the poles in A & C. The flux lines

will be then have to complete the circuit by flowing into the pole structures on

the sides. Pole configurations produced by these connections is

a two-pole arrangement in fig. (a) and a four-pole arrangement in fig. (b).

Advantages

1. The circuit for CSI, using only converter grade thyristor,

which should have reverse blocking capability, and also

able to withstand high voltage spikes during commutation,

is simple.

2. An output short circuit or simultaneous conduction in aninverter arm is controlled by the µcontrolled current source¶

used here, i.e., a current limited voltage source in series

with a large inductance.

3.T

he converter-inverter combined configuration hasinherent four-quadrant operation capability without any

extra power component.



Disadvantages

1. A minimum load at the output is required, and the

commutation capability is dependant upon load current.This limits the operating frequency, and also puts a

limitation on its use for UPS systems.

2. At light loads, and high frequency, these inverters have

sluggish performance and stability problems.
