Constant Starting Torque Control of Wound Rotor Induction Motors

Direct Torque Control Strategy of Induction Motors

Direct Torque Control of inverter-fed Induction Machine allows high dynamic performance by means of very simple control schemes. In this paper various direct torque control methodologies as conventional DTC (C_DTC), modified DTC (M_DTC) and twelve sectors (12_DTC) have been analysed and compared in order to evaluate the influence of the motor operating condition on steady state performances. A ...

Losseless Starting Method For The Wound Rotor Induction Motor

In heavy duty drives in the range of hundreds kW, like cement and minerals industries, wound rotor induction motors are used. Important users make use of hundred of such drives, summing hundreds of MW. This type of motors have technical capabilities to easily operate at variable speed. Despite this simple capability, the large amount of losses which occur at low speeds determine the users to us...

INDUCTION MOTORS - PROTECTION and STARTING

It is well understood that induction motors draw higher currents during their starting operations than is the case under full load running conditions. Since the early days of induction motor availability, starting methods other than Direct-on-Line have been used, and in some cases mandated by Utilities, to reduce the effect of these high starting currents on the electrical distribution network....

Direct Torque Control Strategy for Dual Three Phase Induction Motors

In this paper, a comparison between a classic direct torque control (DTC) and a modified (DTC) of a dual three phase induction machine (SPIM) will be introduced. In this work, the SPIM has a dual three phase windings spatially shifted by θ electrical degree wich is equal to 60◦. SPIM drive has 64 inverter switching states which provide higher possibility in selecting space voltage vectors than ...
