ELECTRICAL DRIVES DRIVE TECHNOLOGY

Load behaviour of drives

Direct starting or starting with a soft starter of an asynchronous motor under load (E2.5.4.2)

The first experiments perform investigations of the behaviour of an asynchronous motor 230/400 V with direct start and direct rotation in the network. Starting the resistors contradicts the current efficiency guidelines. Thyristor-controlled soft starters have been developed for these motors, which can reduce motor voltage without a loss of power.

Objectives

Mains feedback with direct start with and without load

Mains feedback with direct rotation with and without load

Mechanical load of the driven working machine

Start with soft starters

Optimisation of the soft starter

Measurements are performed by the Machine Test CASSY

E2.5.4.3

Starting of large flywheel masses with slip-ring motor

The heavy start is left to the slip-ring rotors. The starting current can be reduced to the nominal current by switching through the resistors in the rotor circuit. In this experiment, the manual rotor starter is available for the heavy start.

Objectives

Mains feedback with heavy start

Mechanical load of the driven working machine

Optimisation of a start control

Energy requirement for direct start of an asynchronous motor

Energy requirement for soft start of an asynchronous motor
