Performance characteristics of inverter driven synchronous motor
Three phase synchronous motor has a wide range of applications. Its constant�speed operation (even under load variation and voltage fluctuation) and high efficiency make it most suitable for constant-speed, continuous-running drives such as motor�generator sets, air compressors, centrifugal pumps,...

| Summary: | Three phase synchronous motor has a wide range of applications. Its constant�speed operation (even under load variation and voltage fluctuation) and high efficiency
make it most suitable for constant-speed, continuous-running drives such as motor�generator sets, air compressors, centrifugal pumps, blowers, crushers and many types of
continuous-processing mills. However, this motor is not a self-started type. There are
many methods implemented in order to bring up the motor's speed to the required limit.
One of the approaches is by using variable-frequency supply starter that is used in this
project work. Realizing the importance of motor performance information in practice,
this project aimed to carry out the standard motor tests and observe the characteristics.
Two main methods are applied in this particular system where one of them is by running
up the synchronous motor conventionally. "Prime mover" is coupled to the motor and
drives it to the desired speed before supplying electrical sources. The other method is by
using variable-frequency (inverter) supply connected to the synchronous motor and run
the motor accordingly. A number of experiments are set up either with and without the
inverter to analyze and compare their performance characteristics. The results are
reported and discussed in this work. |
