3 SPEED CONTROL IN A SQUIRREL CAGE MOTOR

Speed Control in Induction MotorsVARIABLE SPEED DRIVE amp SOFTSTARTERS

WHY IS VARYING THE FREQUENCY SUPPLY THE BEST METHOD

A high performance in the whole range of speeds is obtained

This method disposes of a continuous variation of the speed that might be electrically through control signals such as 0-10VDC o 4-20mA This makes VSD for AC motors to be the best option for process automation

The available motor torque is constant even at low speeds This offers the possibility to work with any load

It is possible to work with frequencies above 50Hz

WHY VHz CONSTANT

Controlling the voltage applied to the stator (E1) it is possible to control the magnetizing current (IM) and therefore the flux

Increasing the motor speed the slip (S) decreases and the relative frequency decreases too Then the cosR improves the losses inductance is reduced and e Ir decreases

Method used by electronic speed controllers To vary the frequency supply of the motor

3 SPEED CONTROL IN A SQUIRREL CAGE MOTOR

Speed Control in Induction MotorsVARIABLE SPEED DRIVE amp SOFTSTARTERS

WHY IS VARYING THE FREQUENCY SUPPLY THE BEST METHOD

A high performance in the whole range of speeds is obtained

This method disposes of a continuous variation of the speed that might be electrically through control signals such as 0-10VDC o 4-20mA This makes VSD for AC motors to be the best option for process automation

The available motor torque is constant even at low speeds This offers the possibility to work with any load

It is possible to work with frequencies above 50Hz

WHY VHz CONSTANT

Controlling the voltage applied to the stator (E1) it is possible to control the magnetizing current (IM) and therefore the flux

Increasing the motor speed the slip (S) decreases and the relative frequency decreases too Then the cosR improves the losses inductance is reduced and e Ir decreases

SPEED CONTROL

Method used by electronic speed controllers To vary the frequency supply of the motor

3 SPEED CONTROL IN A SQUIRREL CAGE MOTOR

Speed Control in Induction MotorsVARIABLE SPEED DRIVE amp SOFTSTARTERS

WHY IS VARYING THE FREQUENCY SUPPLY THE BEST METHOD

A high performance in the whole range of speeds is obtained

This method disposes of a continuous variation of the speed that might be electrically through control signals such as 0-10VDC o 4-20mA This makes VSD for AC motors to be the best option for process automation

The available motor torque is constant even at low speeds This offers the possibility to work with any load

It is possible to work with frequencies above 50Hz

WHY VHz CONSTANT

Controlling the voltage applied to the stator (E1) it is possible to control the magnetizing current (IM) and therefore the flux

Increasing the motor speed the slip (S) decreases and the relative frequency decreases too Then the cosR improves the losses inductance is reduced and e Ir decreases

SPEED CONTROL

Method used by electronic speed controllers To vary the frequency supply of the motor

3 SPEED CONTROL IN A SQUIRREL CAGE MOTOR

Speed Control in Induction MotorsVARIABLE SPEED DRIVE amp SOFTSTARTERS

WHY IS VARYING THE FREQUENCY SUPPLY THE BEST METHOD

A high performance in the whole range of speeds is obtained

This method disposes of a continuous variation of the speed that might be electrically through control signals such as 0-10VDC o 4-20mA This makes VSD for AC motors to be the best option for process automation

The available motor torque is constant even at low speeds This offers the possibility to work with any load

It is possible to work with frequencies above 50Hz

WHY VHz CONSTANT

Controlling the voltage applied to the stator (E1) it is possible to control the magnetizing current (IM) and therefore the flux

Increasing the motor speed the slip (S) decreases and the relative frequency decreases too Then the cosR improves the losses inductance is reduced and e Ir decreases

SPEED CONTROL

Method used by electronic speed controllers To vary the frequency supply of the motor

3 SPEED CONTROL IN A SQUIRREL CAGE MOTOR

Speed Control in Induction MotorsVARIABLE SPEED DRIVE amp SOFTSTARTERS

WHY IS VARYING THE FREQUENCY SUPPLY THE BEST METHOD

A high performance in the whole range of speeds is obtained

This method disposes of a continuous variation of the speed that might be electrically through control signals such as 0-10VDC o 4-20mA This makes VSD for AC motors to be the best option for process automation

The available motor torque is constant even at low speeds This offers the possibility to work with any load

It is possible to work with frequencies above 50Hz

WHY VHz CONSTANT

Controlling the voltage applied to the stator (E1) it is possible to control the magnetizing current (IM) and therefore the flux

Increasing the motor speed the slip (S) decreases and the relative frequency decreases too Then the cosR improves the losses inductance is reduced and e Ir decreases

3 SPEED CONTROL IN A SQUIRREL CAGE MOTOR

Speed Control in Induction MotorsVARIABLE SPEED DRIVE amp SOFTSTARTERS

WHY IS VARYING THE FREQUENCY SUPPLY THE BEST METHOD

A high performance in the whole range of speeds is obtained

This method disposes of a continuous variation of the speed that might be electrically through control signals such as 0-10VDC o 4-20mA This makes VSD for AC motors to be the best option for process automation

The available motor torque is constant even at low speeds This offers the possibility to work with any load

It is possible to work with frequencies above 50Hz

WHY VHz CONSTANT

Controlling the voltage applied to the stator (E1) it is possible to control the magnetizing current (IM) and therefore the flux

Increasing the motor speed the slip (S) decreases and the relative frequency decreases too Then the cosR improves the losses inductance is reduced and e Ir decreases

3 SPEED CONTROL IN A SQUIRREL CAGE MOTOR

Speed Control in Induction MotorsVARIABLE SPEED DRIVE amp SOFTSTARTERS

WHY IS VARYING THE FREQUENCY SUPPLY THE BEST METHOD

A high performance in the whole range of speeds is obtained

This method disposes of a continuous variation of the speed that might be electrically through control signals such as 0-10VDC o 4-20mA This makes VSD for AC motors to be the best option for process automation

The available motor torque is constant even at low speeds This offers the possibility to work with any load

It is possible to work with frequencies above 50Hz

WHY VHz CONSTANT

Controlling the voltage applied to the stator (E1) it is possible to control the magnetizing current (IM) and therefore the flux

Increasing the motor speed the slip (S) decreases and the relative frequency decreases too Then the cosR improves the losses inductance is reduced and e Ir decreases

SPEED CONTROL

Method used by electronic speed controllers To vary the frequency supply of the motor

3 SPEED CONTROL IN A SQUIRREL CAGE MOTOR

Speed Control in Induction MotorsVARIABLE SPEED DRIVE amp SOFTSTARTERS

WHY IS VARYING THE FREQUENCY SUPPLY THE BEST METHOD

A high performance in the whole range of speeds is obtained

This method disposes of a continuous variation of the speed that might be electrically through control signals such as 0-10VDC o 4-20mA This makes VSD for AC motors to be the best option for process automation

The available motor torque is constant even at low speeds This offers the possibility to work with any load

It is possible to work with frequencies above 50Hz

WHY VHz CONSTANT

Controlling the voltage applied to the stator (E1) it is possible to control the magnetizing current (IM) and therefore the flux

Increasing the motor speed the slip (S) decreases and the relative frequency decreases too Then the cosR improves the losses inductance is reduced and e Ir decreases

SPEED CONTROL

Method used by electronic speed controllers To vary the frequency supply of the motor

3 SPEED CONTROL IN A SQUIRREL CAGE MOTOR

Speed Control in Induction MotorsVARIABLE SPEED DRIVE amp SOFTSTARTERS

WHY IS VARYING THE FREQUENCY SUPPLY THE BEST METHOD

A high performance in the whole range of speeds is obtained

This method disposes of a continuous variation of the speed that might be electrically through control signals such as 0-10VDC o 4-20mA This makes VSD for AC motors to be the best option for process automation

The available motor torque is constant even at low speeds This offers the possibility to work with any load

It is possible to work with frequencies above 50Hz

WHY VHz CONSTANT

Controlling the voltage applied to the stator (E1) it is possible to control the magnetizing current (IM) and therefore the flux

Increasing the motor speed the slip (S) decreases and the relative frequency decreases too Then the cosR improves the losses inductance is reduced and e Ir decreases

SPEED CONTROL

Method used by electronic speed controllers To vary the frequency supply of the motor

3 SPEED CONTROL IN A SQUIRREL CAGE MOTOR

Speed Control in Induction MotorsVARIABLE SPEED DRIVE amp SOFTSTARTERS

WHY IS VARYING THE FREQUENCY SUPPLY THE BEST METHOD

A high performance in the whole range of speeds is obtained

This method disposes of a continuous variation of the speed that might be electrically through control signals such as 0-10VDC o 4-20mA This makes VSD for AC motors to be the best option for process automation

The available motor torque is constant even at low speeds This offers the possibility to work with any load

It is possible to work with frequencies above 50Hz

WHY VHz CONSTANT

Controlling the voltage applied to the stator (E1) it is possible to control the magnetizing current (IM) and therefore the flux

Increasing the motor speed the slip (S) decreases and the relative frequency decreases too Then the cosR improves the losses inductance is reduced and e Ir decreases

WHY IS VARYING THE FREQUENCY SUPPLY THE BEST METHOD

A high performance in the whole range of speeds is obtained

This method disposes of a continuous variation of the speed that might be electrically through control signals such as 0-10VDC o 4-20mA This makes VSD for AC motors to be the best option for process automation

The available motor torque is constant even at low speeds This offers the possibility to work with any load

WHY VHz CONSTANT

Controlling the voltage applied to the stator (E1) it is possible to control the magnetizing current (IM) and therefore the flux

Increasing the motor speed the slip (S) decreases and the relative frequency decreases too Then the cosR improves the losses inductance is reduced and e Ir decreases

3 SPEED CONTROL IN A SQUIRREL CAGE MOTOR

Speed Control in Induction MotorsVARIABLE SPEED DRIVE amp SOFTSTARTERS

WHY IS VARYING THE FREQUENCY SUPPLY THE BEST METHOD

A high performance in the whole range of speeds is obtained

This method disposes of a continuous variation of the speed that might be electrically through control signals such as 0-10VDC o 4-20mA This makes VSD for AC motors to be the best option for process automation

The available motor torque is constant even at low speeds This offers the possibility to work with any load

It is possible to work with frequencies above 50Hz

WHY VHz CONSTANT

Controlling the voltage applied to the stator (E1) it is possible to control the magnetizing current (IM) and therefore the flux

Increasing the motor speed the slip (S) decreases and the relative frequency decreases too Then the cosR improves the losses inductance is reduced and e Ir decreases

SPEED CONTROL

Method used by electronic speed controllers To vary the frequency supply of the motor

3 SPEED CONTROL IN A SQUIRREL CAGE MOTOR

Speed Control in Induction MotorsVARIABLE SPEED DRIVE amp SOFTSTARTERS

WHY IS VARYING THE FREQUENCY SUPPLY THE BEST METHOD

A high performance in the whole range of speeds is obtained

This method disposes of a continuous variation of the speed that might be electrically through control signals such as 0-10VDC o 4-20mA This makes VSD for AC motors to be the best option for process automation

The available motor torque is constant even at low speeds This offers the possibility to work with any load

It is possible to work with frequencies above 50Hz

WHY VHz CONSTANT

Controlling the voltage applied to the stator (E1) it is possible to control the magnetizing current (IM) and therefore the flux

Increasing the motor speed the slip (S) decreases and the relative frequency decreases too Then the cosR improves the losses inductance is reduced and e Ir decreases

SPEED CONTROL

Method used by electronic speed controllers To vary the frequency supply of the motor

3 SPEED CONTROL IN A SQUIRREL CAGE MOTOR

Speed Control in Induction MotorsVARIABLE SPEED DRIVE amp SOFTSTARTERS

WHY IS VARYING THE FREQUENCY SUPPLY THE BEST METHOD

A high performance in the whole range of speeds is obtained

This method disposes of a continuous variation of the speed that might be electrically through control signals such as 0-10VDC o 4-20mA This makes VSD for AC motors to be the best option for process automation

The available motor torque is constant even at low speeds This offers the possibility to work with any load

It is possible to work with frequencies above 50Hz

WHY VHz CONSTANT

Controlling the voltage applied to the stator (E1) it is possible to control the magnetizing current (IM) and therefore the flux

Increasing the motor speed the slip (S) decreases and the relative frequency decreases too Then the cosR improves the losses inductance is reduced and e Ir decreases

SPEED CONTROL

Method used by electronic speed controllers To vary the frequency supply of the motor

3 SPEED CONTROL IN A SQUIRREL CAGE MOTOR

Speed Control in Induction MotorsVARIABLE SPEED DRIVE amp SOFTSTARTERS

WHY IS VARYING THE FREQUENCY SUPPLY THE BEST METHOD

A high performance in the whole range of speeds is obtained

This method disposes of a continuous variation of the speed that might be electrically through control signals such as 0-10VDC o 4-20mA This makes VSD for AC motors to be the best option for process automation

The available motor torque is constant even at low speeds This offers the possibility to work with any load

It is possible to work with frequencies above 50Hz

WHY VHz CONSTANT

Controlling the voltage applied to the stator (E1) it is possible to control the magnetizing current (IM) and therefore the flux

Increasing the motor speed the slip (S) decreases and the relative frequency decreases too Then the cosR improves the losses inductance is reduced and e Ir decreases

A high performance in the whole range of speeds is obtained

This method disposes of a continuous variation of the speed that might be electrically through control signals such as 0-10VDC o 4-20mA This makes VSD for AC motors to be the best option for process automation

The available motor torque is constant even at low speeds This offers the possibility to work with any load

SPEED CONTROL

Method used by electronic speed controllers To vary the frequency supply of the motor

3 SPEED CONTROL IN A SQUIRREL CAGE MOTOR

Speed Control in Induction MotorsVARIABLE SPEED DRIVE amp SOFTSTARTERS

WHY IS VARYING THE FREQUENCY SUPPLY THE BEST METHOD

A high performance in the whole range of speeds is obtained

This method disposes of a continuous variation of the speed that might be electrically through control signals such as 0-10VDC o 4-20mA This makes VSD for AC motors to be the best option for process automation

The available motor torque is constant even at low speeds This offers the possibility to work with any load

It is possible to work with frequencies above 50Hz

WHY VHz CONSTANT

Controlling the voltage applied to the stator (E1) it is possible to control the magnetizing current (IM) and therefore the flux

Increasing the motor speed the slip (S) decreases and the relative frequency decreases too Then the cosR improves the losses inductance is reduced and e Ir decreases

Speed Control in Induction MotorsVARIABLE SPEED DRIVE amp SOFTSTARTERS

WHY IS VARYING THE FREQUENCY SUPPLY THE BEST METHOD

A high performance in the whole range of speeds is obtained

This method disposes of a continuous variation of the speed that might be electrically through control signals such as 0-10VDC o 4-20mA This makes VSD for AC motors to be the best option for process automation

The available motor torque is constant even at low speeds This offers the possibility to work with any load

It is possible to work with frequencies above 50Hz

WHY VHz CONSTANT

Controlling the voltage applied to the stator (E1) it is possible to control the magnetizing current (IM) and therefore the flux

Increasing the motor speed the slip (S) decreases and the relative frequency decreases too Then the cosR improves the losses inductance is reduced and e Ir decreases

SPEED CONTROL

Method used by electronic speed controllers To vary the frequency supply of the motor

3 SPEED CONTROL IN A SQUIRREL CAGE MOTOR

Speed Control in Induction MotorsVARIABLE SPEED DRIVE amp SOFTSTARTERS

WHY IS VARYING THE FREQUENCY SUPPLY THE BEST METHOD

A high performance in the whole range of speeds is obtained

This method disposes of a continuous variation of the speed that might be electrically through control signals such as 0-10VDC o 4-20mA This makes VSD for AC motors to be the best option for process automation

The available motor torque is constant even at low speeds This offers the possibility to work with any load

It is possible to work with frequencies above 50Hz

WHY VHz CONSTANT

Controlling the voltage applied to the stator (E1) it is possible to control the magnetizing current (IM) and therefore the flux

Increasing the motor speed the slip (S) decreases and the relative frequency decreases too Then the cosR improves the losses inductance is reduced and e Ir decreases

WHY IS VARYING THE FREQUENCY SUPPLY THE BEST METHOD

A high performance in the whole range of speeds is obtained

This method disposes of a continuous variation of the speed that might be electrically through control signals such as 0-10VDC o 4-20mA This makes VSD for AC motors to be the best option for process automation

The available motor torque is constant even at low speeds This offers the possibility to work with any load

It is possible to work with frequencies above 50Hz

WHY VHz CONSTANT

Controlling the voltage applied to the stator (E1) it is possible to control the magnetizing current (IM) and therefore the flux

Increasing the motor speed the slip (S) decreases and the relative frequency decreases too Then the cosR improves the losses inductance is reduced and e Ir decreases

3 SPEED CONTROL IN A SQUIRREL CAGE MOTOR

Speed Control in Induction MotorsVARIABLE SPEED DRIVE amp SOFTSTARTERS

WHY IS VARYING THE FREQUENCY SUPPLY THE BEST METHOD

A high performance in the whole range of speeds is obtained

This method disposes of a continuous variation of the speed that might be electrically through control signals such as 0-10VDC o 4-20mA This makes VSD for AC motors to be the best option for process automation

The available motor torque is constant even at low speeds This offers the possibility to work with any load

It is possible to work with frequencies above 50Hz

WHY VHz CONSTANT

Controlling the voltage applied to the stator (E1) it is possible to control the magnetizing current (IM) and therefore the flux

Increasing the motor speed the slip (S) decreases and the relative frequency decreases too Then the cosR improves the losses inductance is reduced and e Ir decreases

A high performance in the whole range of speeds is obtained

This method disposes of a continuous variation of the speed that might be electrically through control signals such as 0-10VDC o 4-20mA This makes VSD for AC motors to be the best option for process automation

The available motor torque is constant even at low speeds This offers the possibility to work with any load

WHY VHz CONSTANT

Controlling the voltage applied to the stator (E1) it is possible to control the magnetizing current (IM) and therefore the flux

Increasing the motor speed the slip (S) decreases and the relative frequency decreases too Then the cosR improves the losses inductance is reduced and e Ir decreases

Speed Control in Induction MotorsVARIABLE SPEED DRIVE amp SOFTSTARTERS

WHY VHz CONSTANT

Controlling the voltage applied to the stator (E1) it is possible to control the magnetizing current (IM) and therefore the flux

Increasing the motor speed the slip (S) decreases and the relative frequency decreases too Then the cosR improves the losses inductance is reduced and e Ir decreases

3 SPEED CONTROL IN A SQUIRREL CAGE MOTOR

Speed Control in Induction MotorsVARIABLE SPEED DRIVE amp SOFTSTARTERS

WHY IS VARYING THE FREQUENCY SUPPLY THE BEST METHOD

A high performance in the whole range of speeds is obtained

This method disposes of a continuous variation of the speed that might be electrically through control signals such as 0-10VDC o 4-20mA This makes VSD for AC motors to be the best option for process automation

The available motor torque is constant even at low speeds This offers the possibility to work with any load

It is possible to work with frequencies above 50Hz

WHY IS VARYING THE FREQUENCY SUPPLY THE BEST METHOD

A high performance in the whole range of speeds is obtained

This method disposes of a continuous variation of the speed that might be electrically through control signals such as 0-10VDC o 4-20mA This makes VSD for AC motors to be the best option for process automation

The available motor torque is constant even at low speeds This offers the possibility to work with any load

It is possible to work with frequencies above 50Hz

WHY VHz CONSTANT

Controlling the voltage applied to the stator (E1) it is possible to control the magnetizing current (IM) and therefore the flux

Increasing the motor speed the slip (S) decreases and the relative frequency decreases too Then the cosR improves the losses inductance is reduced and e Ir decreases

This method disposes of a continuous variation of the speed that might be electrically through control signals such as 0-10VDC o 4-20mA This makes VSD for AC motors to be the best option for process automation

The available motor torque is constant even at low speeds This offers the possibility to work with any load

It is possible to work with frequencies above 50Hz

WHY VHz CONSTANT

Controlling the voltage applied to the stator (E1) it is possible to control the magnetizing current (IM) and therefore the flux

Increasing the motor speed the slip (S) decreases and the relative frequency decreases too Then the cosR improves the losses inductance is reduced and e Ir decreases

Controlling the voltage applied to the stator (E1) it is possible to control the magnetizing current (IM) and therefore the flux

Increasing the motor speed the slip (S) decreases and the relative frequency decreases too Then the cosR improves the losses inductance is reduced and e Ir decreases

3 SPEED CONTROL IN A SQUIRREL CAGE MOTOR

Speed Control in Induction MotorsVARIABLE SPEED DRIVE amp SOFTSTARTERS

WHY IS VARYING THE FREQUENCY SUPPLY THE BEST METHOD

A high performance in the whole range of speeds is obtained

This method disposes of a continuous variation of the speed that might be electrically through control signals such as 0-10VDC o 4-20mA This makes VSD for AC motors to be the best option for process automation

The available motor torque is constant even at low speeds This offers the possibility to work with any load

It is possible to work with frequencies above 50Hz

WHY VHz CONSTANT

Controlling the voltage applied to the stator (E1) it is possible to control the magnetizing current (IM) and therefore the flux

Increasing the motor speed the slip (S) decreases and the relative frequency decreases too Then the cosR improves the losses inductance is reduced and e Ir decreases

WHY IS VARYING THE FREQUENCY SUPPLY THE BEST METHOD

A high performance in the whole range of speeds is obtained

This method disposes of a continuous variation of the speed that might be electrically through control signals such as 0-10VDC o 4-20mA This makes VSD for AC motors to be the best option for process automation

The available motor torque is constant even at low speeds This offers the possibility to work with any load

WHY VHz CONSTANT

Controlling the voltage applied to the stator (E1) it is possible to control the magnetizing current (IM) and therefore the flux

Increasing the motor speed the slip (S) decreases and the relative frequency decreases too Then the cosR improves the losses inductance is reduced and e Ir decreases

A high performance in the whole range of speeds is obtained

This method disposes of a continuous variation of the speed that might be electrically through control signals such as 0-10VDC o 4-20mA This makes VSD for AC motors to be the best option for process automation

The available motor torque is constant even at low speeds This offers the possibility to work with any load

3 SPEED CONTROL IN A SQUIRREL CAGE MOTOR

Speed Control in Induction MotorsVARIABLE SPEED DRIVE amp SOFTSTARTERS

WHY IS VARYING THE FREQUENCY SUPPLY THE BEST METHOD

A high performance in the whole range of speeds is obtained

This method disposes of a continuous variation of the speed that might be electrically through control signals such as 0-10VDC o 4-20mA This makes VSD for AC motors to be the best option for process automation

The available motor torque is constant even at low speeds This offers the possibility to work with any load

It is possible to work with frequencies above 50Hz

Speed Control in Induction MotorsVARIABLE SPEED DRIVE amp SOFTSTARTERS

WHY IS VARYING THE FREQUENCY SUPPLY THE BEST METHOD

A high performance in the whole range of speeds is obtained

This method disposes of a continuous variation of the speed that might be electrically through control signals such as 0-10VDC o 4-20mA This makes VSD for AC motors to be the best option for process automation

The available motor torque is constant even at low speeds This offers the possibility to work with any load

It is possible to work with frequencies above 50Hz
