How to Select the Right VFD Inverter or AC Motor Drive

Image
The choice of the right AC motor drive (VFD) for the application is very important and has great influence on its lifetime. If the capacity of AC motor drive is too large, it cannot offer complete protection to the motor and motor maybe damaged. If the capacity of AC motor drive is too small, it cannot offer the required performance and the AC motor drive maybe damaged due to overloading. But by simply selecting the AC motor drive of the same capacity as the motor, user application requirements cannot be met completely. Therefore, a designer should consider all the conditions, including load type, load speed, load characteristic, operation method, rated output, rated speed, power and the change of load capacity . The following table lists the factors you need to consider, depending on your requirements. Selection Note for VFD Why to use Choke for VFD? When the AC Motor Drive (VFD) is connected directly to a large-capacity power transformer (600kVA or above) or when a phase lead cap...

DC Motor Speed Controller Circuit Diagram

Image
DC Motor Speed Controller Circuit Diagram. This circuit takes advantage of the voltage drop across bridge rectifier diodes to produce a 5-position variable voltage supply to a DC fan or other small DC motor. It is not as efficient as a switch-mode circuit but it has the virtues of simplicity and no switching hash. The four full-wave bridges are connected so that each has two pairs of series diodes in parallel, giving a voltage drop of about 1.4V, depending on the load current. DC Motor Speed Controller Circuit Diagram The rotary switch should have "make before break" contacts which should be rated to take currents up to about an amp or so. For higher currents, higher rated bridge rectifiers and a suitably rugged rotary switch (or solenoids) will be required. If you want smaller voltage steps, you could use the commoned AC inputs on the bridge rectifiers to give intermediate steps on the speed switch. Author: Stephen Butcher,

LMD18200 Motor Controller Schematic

Image
Using the LMD18200 3A H-Bridge designed by National Semiconductors for motion control applications can be designed a very simple motor controller electronic project . Ideal for driving DC and stepper motors; the LMD18200 accommodates peak output currents up to 6A. An innovative circuit which facilitates low-loss sensing of the output current has been implemented. LMD18200 Motor Controller Schematic This circuit controls the current through the motor by applying an average voltage equal to zero to the motor terminals for a fixed period of time, whenever the current through the motor exceeds the commanded current. This action causes the motor current to vary slightly about an externally controlled average level. The duration of the Off-period is adjusted by the resistor and capacitor combination of the LM555. Using this motor driver circuit you can design a 24 DC motor that require a maximum current consumption of 3 amperes .

Speed ​​Control of DC Motor PWM Circuit Diagram

Speed ​​Control of DC Motor PWM Circuit Diagram. Often, people try to control small DC motors with a variable resistor type potentiometer connected to a transistor. This system until works well but it generates heat and thus loses power. This circuit is a simple circuit for modulating the pulse width for controlling the DC motor, it eliminates this problem.  Speed ​​Control of DC Motor PWM Circuit Diagram The circuit is capable of controlling the engine speed pulses (PWM), these pulses have a duration variable to change the speed of the motor. The longer the pulses lead, the faster the motor will rotate, and vice versa.

An Electrostatic Motor

Image
Conventional electric motors rely on the forces of electro magnetism to provide motion. An item in the UW-Madison news letter announced that a motor is under development at the headquarters of C-Motive Technologies which uses the force of electric fields. According to Dan Ludois, an assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering at the UW and co-founder of C-Motive Technologies “We have proven the concept of a new motor that uses electric fields rather than magnetic fields to transform electricity into a rotary force, the distinction may sound minor, but it could solve a number of practical problems while saving money” [ ]

FPGA RC Servo and Stepper motor control in Verilog

Image
For those interested in reproducing this example: The board is called “EP2C5 Mini Board” and has a EP2C5T144C8 Cyclone II FPGA on it I used a standard, 9grams micro RC Servo. I used a 28BYJ-48 stepper motor and it’s driver (you can purchase these as a bundle for very cheap on dealextreme or banggood) I used the free edition of Quartus II from Altera, version 13.0 SP 1 (be careful, later versions do not support Cyclone II FPGAs anymore) I created a simple project, pasted all this code as a single module (it would of course be cleaner to separate the RC Servo and stepper control code into independent modules) made the “Top level entity” in the General configuration page equal to “counter” (the name of my module) used the Pin Planner to assign the inputs/outputs as follows: [ ]

Stepper motor controller

Image
Description. Here is the circuit diagram of a simple stepper motor controller using only elementary parts. The driver circuit uses, four transistor (SL100) to drive the motor windings, two NOT gates and one XOR gate to decode the two bit control logic to drive the four windings of the motor. The diodes D1 to D4 protects the corresponding transistors from transients generated during the switching of motor windings. d0 and d1 are the control logics which determines the direction of rotation as well as speed. Circuit diagram with Parts list. Notes. The control logic for the circuit can be obtained from a 2 bit up/down counter clocked by a 555 astable multivibrator.The direction of count determines the direction of rotation and the frequency of astable multivibrator determines the speed of rotation. As shown in the schematic above, IC1a IC1b belongs to same IC 7404. Pin 14 and pin 7 of both IC1 and IC2 must be connected to +5 V and ground respectively, though it is not shown in circui...

Build a 1000W AC Motor Speed Controller Circuit Diagram, this is a simple1000W AC Motor Speed Controller Circuit Diagram. This triac based AC motor speed controller circuit is designed for controlling the speed of AC motors like drill machines, fans, vacuums, etc. The speed of the motor can be controlled by changing the setting of P1 potentiometer. The setting of P1 determines the phase of the trigger pulse that fires the triac. The circuit incorporates a self-stabilizing technique that maintains the speed of the motor even when it is loaded.   1000W AC Motor Speed Controller Circuit Diagram

12 24v High Current Motor Speed Controller Part 1

Image
  This 12V or 24V high-current DC Motor Speed Controller is rated at up to 40A (continuous) and is suitable for heavy-duty motor applications. All control tasks are monitored by a microcontroller and as a result, the list of features is extensive. This high-current motor speed controller is based on a PiC16F88 microcontroller. This micro provides all the fancy features, such as battery monitoring, soft-start and speed regulation. it also monitors the speed setting potentiometer and drives a 4-digit display board, which includes two pushbuttons. The 4-digit display board is optional, but we strongly recommend that you build it, even if you only use it for the initial set-up. it unlocks the full features of the speed controller and allows all settings to be adjusted. The microcontroller will detect whether the display board is connected, and if not, the speed controller will support only the basic functions. in this simple mode, it will function as a simple speed-regulated con...
