Department of Electrical & Electronics, MIT Manipal ELE 403 Solid State Drives Assignment III (October 22, 2012) Date of Submission: November 10 2012.

1) Sketch & explain the block schematics of different variable frequency speed control schemes for Induction Motors. Compare the schemes and specify the suitable speed ranges. 2) Explain different types of power line disturbances. Also explain how it can be suppressed. 3) Explain the principle of rotor resistance control. Find the effective value of resistance included when static resistance control scheme is used foe speed control of wound rotor induction motors. Hence draw -T characteristics with variable duty cycle 4) Write a short note on vector control of induction motor 5) What are the different type of synchronous motors? Explain the working of any one type of the same with a neat sketch\

6) With the help of torque slip characteristics show that stator voltage control is best suited for pump & fan drive systems. Sketch the power circuit for a reversible adjustable speed induction motor drive. What are its main drawbacks? 7) Explain how Induction motor speed can be controlled by regulating the power in rotor circuit. Also explain the suitable power electronic scheme with which the given Induction machine can be operated in (i) Sub synchronous speed range (ii) Super synchronous speed range. 8) With the help of neat diagram explain the operation of the on line and off line UPS system 9) With a block schematic explain how power factor control can be achieved statically in
11) with neat diagram explain the operation of static excitation of wound field synchronous motor

synchronous machine 10) Explain principle and operation of field oriented control with the help of neat circuit diagram
