Induction Motor Speed Control.: Experiment:-11 Aim:-Study Practical of Variable Voltage /variable Frequency

The document discusses variable voltage variable frequency (VVVF) induction motor speed control. It explains that induction motor speed can be controlled by varying the supply frequency, but the voltage must also be varied proportionally to maintain flux. This allows operation from 10-150% of rated speed. VVVF control implements constant volts per hertz operation with voltage boosting at lower frequencies to smoothly accelerate the motor from zero speed. It operates over three regions - constant torque below base speed using V/F control, constant power above base speed by maintaining voltage while weakening the field, and constant slip speed at higher frequencies with maximum field weakening and constant torque-speed squared.

Experiment:-11 Aim:- Study practical of Variable Voltage /Variable Frequency Induction Motor Speed Control.

Introduction: Variable Voltage Variable Frequency Supply With variable voltage, variable frequency operation, any combination of voltage and frequency can be used to supply the motor, with the condition that operation should remain within the limits of rated voltage an frequency.

Theory:Induction motors run near synchronous speed.Recall the equation for synchronous speed: Ns = 120 f / p Therefore, to control the speed of an inductionmotor, we can control the frequency of the supply. Changing the frequency changes thenominal speed of the machine. However, we also want to keep the flux () in the machine at the design value. Recall the fluxlinking equation: V = 4.44Nf Clearly is proportional to V / f. Therefore, as wevary the frequency, we must also vary thevoltage in proportion. (Volts per Hertz Rule)With VVVF control, the speed range possible is from about 10% to 150% of rated speed.To implement VVVF control we need a VVVF AC supply. Voltage boosting At low frequencies (typically less than about one quarter of the base frequency) the stator supply voltage can be boosted to maintain the magnetising voltage and hence maintain rated flux in the machine.

Constant Volts per Hertz Operation Many (even most) commercially available drives have the option for some from of constant Volts per Hertz operation, with voltage boosting at lower frequencies. Using this approach, it is possible to accelerate a motor from zero speed to rated speed smoothly and without the high inrush currents normally associated with induction machine starting. Operating Regions A variable voltage, variable frequency drive is capable of operating over a wide speed range. There are three distinct operating modes, illustrated in the diagrams below. 1. Below base speed. This is the constant torque region where V/f control can be applied, with low frequency voltage boosting. 2. Constant power. Above base frequency there is a region where slip speed can be increased without exceeding rated currents and without coming too close to pull-out torque. Voltage must remain at the rated value, so this is a field weakening region. 3. Field weakening, constant slip speed. As the field is weakened, a pint is reached where slip speed cannot be increased any further. In this region, e2 is constant
