    Rotor Resistance Control of Induction Motor

    Uploaded by

    Rotor resistance control of induction motors allows the motor speed to be varied by adjusting the rotor resistance. This keeps the motor's maximum torque constant while lowering speed with increased rotor resistance. It provides high torque at low speeds, making it useful for applications with intermittent loads like cranes. While low-cost, it reduces efficiency due to resistor losses. Modern static rotor resistance control uses a transistor and diode bridge to continuously vary rotor resistance without steps, allowing smooth speed control with fast response.

    Rotor Resistance Control of Induction Motor:

    Speed-torque curves for Rotor Resistance Control of Induction Motor are


    given in Fig. 6.50. While maximum torque is independent of rotor
    resistance, speed at which the maximum torque is produced changes with
    rotor resistance. For the same torque, speed falls with an increase in Rotor
    Resistance Control of Induction Motor.

    Advantage of Rotor Resistance Control of Induction Motor is that motor


    torque capability remains unaltered even at low speeds. Only other
    method which has this advantage is variable frequency control. However,
    cost of Rotor Resistance Control of Induction Motor is very low compared
    to variable frequency control. Because of low cost and high torque
    capability at low speeds, rotor resistance control is employed in cranes,
    Ward Leonard Ilgener Drives, and other intermittent load applications.

    Major disadvantage is low efficiency due to additional losses in resistor


    connected in the rotor circuit. As the losses mainly take place in the
    external resistor they do not-heat the motor.

    Conventional Methods:

    A number of methods are used for obtaining variable resistance. In drum


    controllers, resistance is varied by using rotary switches and a resistance
    divided in few steps. Variable resistance can also be obtained by using
    contactors and resistors in series. High power applications use a slip-
    regulator, which consists of three electrodes submerged in an electrolyte,
    consisting of saline water. Resistance is varied by changing the distance
    between electrodes and earth electrode. When the power is high,
    electrodes are driven by a small motor. Advantage of this method is that
    resistance can be changed steplessly.

    Static Rotor Resistance Control:

    Rotor resistance can also be varied steplessly using circuit of Fig. 6.51. The
    ac output voltage of rotor is rectified by a diode bridge and fed to a
    parallel combination of a fixed resistance R and a semiconductor switch
    realized by a transistor Tr (Fig. 6.51).

    Effective value of resistance across terminals A and B, RAB, is varied by


    varying duty ratio of transistor Tr, which in turn varies rotor circuit
    resistance. Inductance Ld is added to reduce ripple and discontinuity in
    the dc link current Id. Rotor current waveform will be as shown. in Fig.
    6.5104 when the ripple is neglected. Thus rms rotor current will be

    Resistance between terminals A and B will be zero when transistor is on


    and it will be R when it is off. Therefore, average value of resistance
    between the terminals is given by
    where δ is the duty ratio of the transistor and is given by Eq. (5.112).

    Power consumed by RAB is

    From Eqs. (6.88) and (6.89), power consumed by RAB per phase is

    Equation (6.90) suggests that rotor circuit resistance per phase is


    increased by 0.5R(1 – δ). Thus, total rotor circuit resistance per phase will
    now be

    RrT can be varied from Rr to (Rr + 0.5R) as δ is changed from 1 to 0.

    A closed-loop speed control scheme with inner current control loop is


    shown in Fig. 6.52. Rotor current Ir and therefore, Id has a constant value
    at the maximum torque point, both during motoring and plugging. If the
    current limiter is made to saturate at this current, the drive will accelerate
    and decelerate at the maximum torque, giving very fast transient
    response. For plugging to occur, arrangement will have to be made for
    reversal of phase sequence.
    Compared to conventional Rotor Resistance Control of Induction Motor,
    static rotor resistance control has several advantages such as smooth and
    stepless control, fast response, less maintenance, compact size, simple
    closed-loop control and rotor resistance remains balanced between the
    three phases for all operating points.
