Variable-speed DC drives with series-excited motors are widely used in
the mining industry, transport and lifting equipment. The purpose of the
study is to determine the dynamic characteristics of a variable direct
current (DC) drive with a series-excited motor in the dynamic braking
mode. In the article, there have been developed schematic diagrams of
the power section that ensure stable braking of a variable-speed electric
drive with a series-excited motor. The requirements for the braking mode
have been developed. The studies have been carried out for a saturated
and unsaturated magnetic circuit of an electric motor. The scientific
novelty of the work consists in determining the zone of stable operation
of the dynamic braking mode. As a result, there has been proposed
technical implementation of the power section of a variable-speed
electric drive with a series-excited motor that ensures stable braking.
A special place in the study is the development of two models of an
electric motor with subsequent excitation taking into account the
saturation of the magnetic circuit - mathematical and simulation. Thus,
the article has not only theoretical but also visual and practical
significance in the context of already conducted studies on the subject.
Options for the technical implementation of the braking regime were
also considered in the course of the sequential implementation of the
planned stages of the study.
