Section 5.1 - nduction motor drive Electric Drive Sytem 5.1.1. ntroduction he AC induction motor i by far the mot widely ued motor in the indutry. raditionally, it ha been ued in contant and lowly variable-peed (or adjutable-peed) drive application which do not cater for fat dynamic procee. Procee with fat dynamic repone of medium power range (a few hundred kw) have traditionally been driven by bruhed DC motor drive. At the low power end, bruhle PM DC and AC motor drive have become attractive alternative to bruhed DC motor drive. Due to recent elopment of everal new control technologie, uch a vector (indirect rotor flux oriented) and direct torque control, induction machine are now-a-day alo applied in highly dynamic application. he underlying reaon for thi i the fact that the cage induction motor i much cheaper and more rugged than DC or the PM AC motor. For thee reaon, the adjutable-peed induction motor drive till i the main workhore in indutry. hi ection tart with induction motor drive which fall into the adjutable-peed drive category. he control of thee drive i baed on the teady-tate equivalent circuit of the induction motor. t may be noted here that the dynamic performance (uch a acceleration and deceleration) of thi motor can not be addreed by thee teady-tate repreentation. 5.1.. ecap uing the teady-tate equivalent circuit he underlying principle behind the operation of an induction motor i the concept of rotating magnetic field produced by the three-phae AC current in the pace ditributed tator winding. n the teady-tate, with inuoidal upply at a fixed frequency f 1, the peed of thi rotating field i given by N f p 1 yn1 rev/ec (5.1.1) f p p 1 1 yn1 mechanical rad/ec (5.1.) where f 1 i the upply frequency and p i the number of pole pair. For balanced three-phae upply and ditributed tator winding the air-gap field i ditributed inuoidally along the periphery of the rotor and will caue inuoidal voltage to be induced in the rotor winding when the rotor rotate at a contant peed N rot1. he conequent current that flow in the rotor circuit elop the torque that drive the rotor uch that it trie to follow the revolving field. n doing o it tend to minimie the voltage that are induced in it a well known effect potulated by Lenz. f the magnetic flux linkage with a tationary winding i repreented by mco f1t, it Nd induce a voltage e f1nmin1t where N i the number of turn of the dt winding, and f 1 i the frequency of the flux linkage with the tationary winding. n term of MS value, E 4.44N f1. m 1 July 011

Jut a the air-gap field peed rev/ec i expreed by Nyn1 f 1 / p, imilarly, the rotor peed may alo be given by Nrot1 f / p rev/ec, where f i rotor peed in Hz. t can be eaily hown that f1 f1 f fr (5.1.4) t hould be obviou that f 1, not f, i the frequency f r of the induced voltage and current in the rotor circuit. he magnitude of the voltage induced in the rotor i alo dependent on lip it being of zero amplitude and frequency when the rotor rotate exactly at ynchronou peed and of maximum amplitude and frequency (f 1 ) when the rotor i at tandtill. hu E E (5.1.5) tan dtill 5.1.3 he teady-tate equivalent circuit he rotor circuit per-phae in the teady-tate (at contant frequency) can be repreented a X X E X E E 1 (a) (b) (c) Figure 5.1.1. otor equivalent circuit he rotor repreentation when combined with the tator give the total per-phae equivalent circuit of figure 5.1..
