Module 1 : Introduction to Electric Drives


Dynamics of Motor-Load Combination

  • where is motor and load torque respectively in Nm, J is the moment of inertia and is the angular velocity in rad/sec.

  • Motor torque is the applied torque and load torque is the resisting torque.

  • Different states at which an electric drive causing rotational motion are
    (i) :- The drive will be accelerating, in particular, picking up speed to reach rated speed.

    (ii) :- The drive will be decelerating and particularly, coming to rest.

    (iii) :- The motor will continue to run at the same speed, if it were running or continue to be at rest, if it were running.
