EET-219 Electric Motors, Controls, and Variable Speed Drives
Electric motors, controls, and variable speed,drives (VSD) provides a review of linear and,rotational motion, and energy conversions. The,basics of electromagnetism, DC motors and AC,single-phase and polyphase motors are studied.,NEMA motor classifications A, B, C, and D are,explained. Power electronic switches are covered,including thyristors and IGBTs. The block diagram,of the variable speed drive is studied and the,synchronized rectifier stage, DC link, inverter,stage, and protective functions are studied. The,basic characteristics of PID control are covered,and its application to variable speed drives. The,variable speed drives offered by various,manufacturers including Danfoss, Schneider, an,Eaton Cutler-Hammer are contrasted.
Prerequisite
