Introduction to Motor Drive Systems

Abstract

This chapter deals with dc and ac motor drive systems. The operation and characteristics of the dc motor, induction motor, permanent magnet motor, and switched reluctance motor are examined first. Typical power electronics topologies and control techniques used in dc and ac motor drives are then presented and explained. The ac motor control techniques discussed in this chapter include scalar control, direct torque and flux control, direct self control, rotor field-oriented control, indirect field–oriented control, and flux vector modulation. Solved problems are presented to help the reader understand the theory presented in this chapter.
