A Study Of The Current-Diagram Method For Calculating Induction Motor Characteristics With Adjustable Frequency

가변주파수에 있어서 유도전동기특성의 도시산정법에 관한 연구

The development of the frequency convertors using semiconductors devices makes it possible to control the speed of A.C. motors easily. It is now economically feasible to provide them with power at adjustble frequency using silicon-controlled rectifier (or thyristor) inverters. In such a case, in order to operate an induction motor efficiently over a wide speed range, it must be supplied from a variable frecuency source of which frequency is adjustable over the speep range of the motor. It is desired to observe the changes in characteristics as primary current, torque-speed of induction moter etc. at any optional frequncy. Although the charactheristies can be obtained by means of the conventional methods they require very complicated precedures of calcuations. The Current Diagram Method in this paper suggests a new approach to simpler calcuations of the characteristics, using the motor constants at reference frequency. The conclusions of this study are summarized as follows: (1) The equations of stator current at adjusted frequency were derived to construct graphical chart and the current circle required for the Current Diagrm Method. (2) The radius, center of the current circle and the vector locus, the basis for calculating the characteristics, at any desired frequency could be easily determined with the aid of both the derived graphical chart and current circle at reference frequency. (3) The method was shown to be applicable to the various types of 3-phase induction motors and also dealt with its application to the split-phase, condenser motors.
