Electrical Machine Drives Lab

The document contains instructions for laboratory exercises on electrical machine drives: 1. The first exercise measures the ratio between the output voltage and frequency of a speed regulator block controlling an induction motor. Students record measurements at different voltage levels to analyze the linearity of the output signals. 2. The second exercise connects a DC shunt motor to a drive and measures motor speed and armature current at different applied voltages. Students analyze and discuss the relationships between speed, current, and applied voltage. 3. The third exercise uses an oscilloscope to observe PWM signal generation in a permanent magnet DC motor drive. Students trace signals in the drive circuit to understand how PWM signals control the motor.

Frequency of V/F1 FCT
• Starting from the condition of module G37 off (no power supply voltage present), short-circuit
terminals 3 and 4.
• Connect terminal 29 to 30 with a cable.
• Switch I1 to STOP, I2 to 50Hz, the ACC and DEC potentiometers to the minimum value (all to
the left).
• Power the module with the necessary voltages (24Vac/5A, ±12Vdc/0.5A, +5Vdc/1A)
• Turn I1 to START
• With P1, take the voltage of terminal 38 to 0.5 V
• With the oscilloscope, measure the frequency of terminal 17 (output of the voltage-to-frequency
converter VF1)
• With the oscilloscope, measure the frequency of terminal 11 which is the signal driving the
MOSFET
• Fill table 5.1 with the obtained measurements
• Repeat the sane measurements for all those voltage values of terminal 38 which are reported in
the table. The variation of the voltage value must be carried out with the potentiometer P1
• Report the values of the table on a graph and check the linearity of the output signals of
terminals 17 and 11

Lab 2: D.C Shunt Motor Drive
CONNECTION WITH THE MOTOR
After connecting the motor with the drive, carry out the following operations:
1) connect TP1 with TP2. Thus the potentiometer P1 is connected with the set-point input of the
drive. The potentiometer is used to vary the control voltage within the range –10 V/+10 V that
corresponds to a variation of the motor speed within the range –3000 rpm/+3000 rpm;
2) turn the main switch (mounted in the rear part of the drive) to “ON”.
3) Turn the switch SA2 ENABLE to “ON”. The green LED EN is on.
Now the drive is ready for operation.
4) Turning the potentiometer P1 will vary the rpm of the motor in both
clockwise and anticlockwise directions.
