Electric Drives

What is the function of Electric Drives? And all the information of Electric drive is given below



Definition

  • A device which is used to motion control is called drive.
  • An electrical machine which used for motion control is called electric drive.
  • Block Diagram of Electrical Drives

 1. Source

  • Source are used in electrical drives 
  • AC supply
  • DC supply 

 2. Power modulator

  • Power modulator perform two functions
  • It take the electrical supply from the source and give it to the motor in suitable form of motor.
  • Power modulator select the mode of operation of motor, such that motoring or braking mode.

3. Load


  • It is the machinery or device which used to perform particular or given operation.

4. Motors


  • There are several motors are used in electrical drives such that DC series motor, DC Shunt motor, DC compound motor, DC permanent magnet motor, Induction motors, Synchronous motors, stepper motor.

 5. Sensing unit

  • Sensing unit sense the drive parameters like as speed of motor, current of motor etc.
  • Sensing unit is used to protection for motor. Then, these information is fed to the control unit.

 6. Control unit

  • It controls the power modulator using generating commands according to motor safety and power modulator safety.
  • It operate at lower voltage and lower power levels.

Advantages of electric drive


  • Electric drive is more flexible. It can be install where space is available and also we can change the place.
  • Electric drive is clean as compared to steam or diesel engine drives.
  • Electric drive needs less  space because it arranged nearer to the driven machine.
  • We can control the electric drive by remote control.
  • We can easily start the motor with starter only by pressing the button. It is easy to start as compared to steam or diesel engine drives.
  • Automatic control is possible in electric drive by using electronic control.

Disadvantages of electric drive


  • This system is possible only in electrified area.
  • If any fault occurs in supply whole system comes to stand still.

Introduction to Arduino | Pin Function of Arduino | Working Process of Arduino

Introduction to Arduino | Pin Function of Arduino | Working Process of Arduino Introduction to Arduino | Pin Function of Arduino | Working Process of Arduino Introduction To Arduino Arduino is an Italian company that designs and manufactures Open Source Hardware (Microcontroller) and Open Source software or IDE (Integrated Development Environment). Arduino hardware is such a programmable computerized platform, by working on which the user can combine the hardware and software and prepare the electronic brain according to his own and can control the electronic devices from that electronic brain. What is arduino? If you want to understand more easily, then we can say that Arduino microcontroller is an empty brain, in which you can upload memory by coding or programming through arduino software, so these are called open source. Arduino works like a CPU of a board computer. Right now the microcontroller of the arduino of this time that we can take up is lik

What is Microprocessor? | Block Diagram of Microprocessor | Application of Microprocessor What is Microprocessor? | Block Diagram of Microprocessor | Application of Microprocessor Basic Detail Of Microprocessor The  microprocessor is a semiconductor device consisting of electronic logic circuits manufactured by using either a large scale(LSI) or very large scale integration(VLSI) technique. The microprocessor is capable of performing computing functions and making decisions to change the sequence of program execution. In large computers, the central processing unit(CPU) performs these computing functions and it is implemented on one or more circuit boards. The microprocessor is in many ways similar to the CPU, however, the microprocessor includes all the logic circuitry(including the control unit)on one chip. The microprocessor consists of the following three segments which is shown in below diagram. Block Diagram of Microproce

What is Instrumentation? And Modes of Measurement

What is Instrumentation? And Modes of Measurement Definition of Instrumentation The technology of using instruments to measure and control the physical and chemical properties of materials is called “ instrumentation ". What is Instrumentation? And Modes of Measurement When the instruments are used for the measurement and control of industrial manufacturing , conversion or treatment processes, the term process instrumentation is applied. When the measuring and controlling instruments are combined so that measurements provide impulses for remote automatic action, the result is called a control system. Modes of Measurement There are the three modes of measurement: 1. Primary Measurement 2. Secondary Measurement 3. Tertiary Measurement All the three modes are described below: (1) Primary Measurements In the primary measurement sought value of a parameter is determined by comparing it directly with reference standar
