The article presents an approach to determining the electric drive’s operability based on an asynchronous motor with a short-circuited rotor and a two-link frequency converter. Mathematical description of the frequency-controlled electric drive is performed, in particular, selection of criteria taking into account an electric and mechanical part. The harmonic current distortion coefficient as a component of the power coefficient is used for the determination of the energy criterion. The mechanical criterion is the coefficient of the electromagnetic moment pulsation, on the value of which the conjugated equipment depends. The operability field is represented as a function of three variables: (a) rotor speed, (b) current harmonic distortion coefficient, and (c) electromagnetic moment pulsation coefficient. The obtained surface makes it possible to determine the actual state of the electric drive and to estimate the reserve of operability, which allows reducing the operating costs in terms of repair and maintenance.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
