4. AIM
Design of variable frequency drives for speed
control in single phase induction motor
5. PHASES OF PROJECT
FIRST PHASE
• Experimental set up of the drive using basic knowledge
SECOND PHASE
• Microcontroller programming
THIRD PHASE
• Hardware design, assembling & installation
6. INTRODUCTION
Most of the industries use induction motors as the
drives
Rising energy price create a need for energy efficient
motor
VFDS are useful in energy saving
It reduces the motor speed as demand decreases
VFDs consists of
Electronic actuator-controller
Driving electrical machines – motor
Driven machine – pump, fan, blower…
8. WORKING PRINCIPLE
Torque of IM depends on flux
Flux α V/f ratio
Hence torque α V/f ratio
Speed = 120 * f/ P
With load change, speed also changes
By retaining V/f ratio constant, torque is
maintained
10. Serving as the prime power sources for a seemingly
limitless array of small-horsepower applications in
industry and in the home.
Single phase AC electrical supply is what is typically
supplied in homes, three phase electrical power is
commonly only available in a factory setting.
Correctly sized and rated -- can last a lifetime with little
maintenance.
WHY SINGLE PHASE INDUCTION MOTOR?
11. PWM INVERTERS?
Characterized by constant amplitude pulses
Width of these pulses is modulated
Different PWM techniques – Single pulse
modulation, Multiple pulse modulation and
Sinusoidal pulse modulation
These techniques differ each other in harmonic
content
Choice – on permissible harmonic content in
input
12. SINUSOIDAL PULSE WIDTH MODULATION
Pulses over half cycle of unequal widths are
generated
Pulse width is a sinusoidal function of angular
position of each cycle
By comparing a sinusoidal wave against a triangular
carrier wave
Simple and ease of implementation
No: of cycles is decided by ratio of triangular
carrier frequency to that of modulating sinusoidal
frequency
23. ADVANTAGES
Rising energy prices creates a need for energy
efficient motor
To reduce energy losses we select VFDs
Improved operating performance
Good control capability
Efficient energy saving
Consume less energy
24. DISADVANTAGES
