Performance of Variable-Phase Thyristor Motor |
| Abstract |
In this paper the performance of a variable-phase thyristor motor combined with a phase splitter and a single-phase tapped induction motor is investigated. The phase splitter consists of a bridge type thyristor switching circuit. The regulating power flow of the phase splitter is obtained from the switching phase difference of thyristor switching sequences. The proper switching performance improves the torque-speed-characteristics of the motor and its operation efficiency. We simplify the motor system th using the tapped windng reactances of the motor as the complementary element of the thyristor phase splitter. We discussed the practicality of this motor system through the analysis of simulation result and the voltage and the current wave forms obtained froms obtained from the experiment. |
