Speed And Direction Control of Motor

AI Thread Summary
To control the speed and direction of AC motors, Variable Frequency Inverter (VFI) drives are recommended, as they allow for frequency adjustments. For three-phase motors, direction can be altered by swapping any two of the three phases. Speed control is achieved by changing the frequency of the AC supply, which affects the rotation speed of the stator magnetic field. PWM can also be utilized to generate a sine wave of variable frequency, enhancing control capabilities. Understanding these principles is crucial for effective motor management.

Hello,
In case of DC we use H-Bridges To control Dc motor direction and Speed with PWM.
But in case of AC motor Single phase and 3 phase motor how to control Speed and direction?

Hi...
I reckon your best bet would be a Variable Frequency Inverter drive.
 
How it will work i mean in H bridges there is mosfet with PWM channel.
in the we will change the frequency of 3 phase how?

You can shift the direction of an 3 phase motor by swaping two of its three phases. The speed depends on how hast the stator magnetic field rotates. So you can change the AC frequency if possible or change the supply voltage, but i recommend someone who works with electrical machines to reply to you.

Hello,
I know the theory procedure we use PWM with sin table in look up i think
 
Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...
I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...
I am not an electrical engineering student, but a lowly apprentice electrician. I learn both on the job and also take classes for my apprenticeship. I recently wired my first transformer and I understand that the neutral and ground are bonded together in the transformer or in the service. What I don't understand is, if the neutral is a current carrying conductor, which is then bonded to the ground conductor, why does current only flow back to its source and not on the ground path...
