DC Drives

1
DC Drive System

2
High Speed / Low Speed Adjustment
• High Speed rheostat is
used to adjust
maximum speed of
motor.
• Low Speed rheostat is
used to adjust minimum
speed of motor.

3
Acceleration and Deceleration Adjustment
• When speed control is adjusted too

quickly from min to max, surge of

current may flow, which can

overheat the armature of motor.

• 𝑅12 𝐶 charging time delays

application of voltage to the motor,

causing it to accelerate at a slowed

rate. This action is referred to as a

soft start. 4
Methods used to Adjust Parameters of DC Drive
• Speed Control
• IR Compensation
• Current Limiting
• High Speed / Low Speed
• Acceleration / Deceleration

• Variable resistors are used in diagrams to make


adjustments. In actual drive, it can be control
knob or screwdriver.

• In advanced drives, the same adjustments are


made by using keypad, or by computer connected
with interface cable.
5
Field Current Speed Control
• Speed of shunt motor is controlled primarily by
varying the voltage at the armature and keeping the
field voltage constant.
• When the maximum rated armature and field
voltages are applied to motor, it runs at base speed.
• It is possible to further control motor speed by
changing the field current, called field current speed
𝑉−𝐼𝑅
control as per formula. N=
𝐾𝜙
• N = Speed, K = constant, 𝜙 = Field Flux  𝐼𝑓
• V, I, R = Armature voltage/current/resistance
6
Field Current Speed Control
• It is possible to increase motor speed up to 5
times of base speed by reducing field current.
• However, weakening the field by reducing the
field voltage also reduces motor torque.
• Rheostat or an SCR bridge can be used to vary
the field current.
• DC drive with this capability are frequently
called voltage drives and field drives.

7
Load Characteristics
• One of the primary factors used to select an
adjustable drive is the type of load the motor will
be driving.

• Therefore it is important to understand speed,


torque and horsepower requirements of load.

• Motors load are classified into three main


categories:
– Constant Torque Load
– Constant Horsepower Load
– Variable Torque Load
8
Constant Torque Load
• 90% of industrial loads are constant torque
• An example of this type of load is friction.
• Examples of friction loads are Conveyors, Extruders,
and moist. Suitable Drive: Vary Armature Voltage,
Field strength Constant

9
Constant Horsepower Load
𝑇𝑜𝑟𝑞𝑢𝑒 × 𝑆𝑝𝑒𝑒𝑑
• 𝐻𝑃 = ; Torque lb-ft, Speed RPM
5252
• An example of this type of load lathe machine.
• Suitable Drive: Variable Voltage and Field Drive

10
Variable Torque Load
• Torque required by load varies proportional to square
of the speed. 𝑇𝑜𝑟𝑞𝑢𝑒 = 𝐶𝑜𝑛𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑛𝑡 × 𝑆𝑝𝑒𝑒𝑑 2
• Examples load: Large Centrifugal Fans and Pumps

11
Motor Braking
• Some industrial applications require that a
rotary mechanism be stopped quickly.
• However because of inertia it may be difficult
to stop a mechanism abruptly.
• Since DC motors are used as the prime mover
for certain machines, certain types of motor
braking techniques have been used.
• Two popular Methods are: Dynamic Braking
and Regenerative Braking

12
Dynamic Braking
• Dynamic braking uses a resistor to absorb K.E. from the
rotating armature and the load to which it is connected.
• Smaller value of R faster it slows down.
• When Start button is closed  Normal Operation
• When Stop button is opened  Dynamic Braking

13
Regenerative Braking
• In this power from K.E. is returned to the power supply.
• During normal operation  Forward SCR Bridge is ON
• During braking operation  Reverse SCR Bridge is ON
– It causes the reverse current flow in armature of DCM.
– This causes the torque of the armature to develop in opposite
direction. It counters forward torque of motor, causing it to
decelerate quickly.

14
Regenerative Braking
• When the motor rotation Stops, the reverse SCR bridge
should turn OFF, else the motor will begin rotating in
opposite direction.

• In addition to stopping motor quickly, regenerative


braking circuit can reduce down to a slower speed
quickly without stopping it

• Regenerative braking circuit also provides a precise


method of speed regulation
