Ktunotes - In: 1. Self Control Mode Using A Rotor Position Sensor or Stator Voltage Sensor

VSI fed synchronous motor drives can operate in self control mode or true synchronous mode. Self control mode uses position sensors for feedback control and allows constant V/f ratio below base speed. True synchronous mode determines motor speed from an external oscillator and controls voltage and frequency within the inverter. Self control mode eliminates hunting problems but true synchronous mode allows multi-motor drives. A CSI fed synchronous motor can also operate in self control mode using load commutation, where the thyristors of the load side converter are commutated by the motor voltages. This allows the motor to operate at leading power factor and the load side converter to function as an inverter.

VSI fed Synchronous Motor Drives

- VSI fed synchronous motor drives can be classified as


1. Self control mode using a rotor position sensor or stator voltage
sensor

S . I N
T U N OTE
K
- Here the output frequency is controlled by the inverter & voltage is
controlled by the controlled rectifier
- If the inverter is PWM inverter, both frequency & voltage can be
controlled within the inverter
- Upto base frequency, V/f ratio is kept constant & above base speed f
is varied by keeping V at rated value 12

2. True synchronous mode where the speed of motor is determined by
the external independent oscillator

S . I N
T U N OTE
K
- Here the output frequency & voltage is controlled within the PWM
inverter
- If the inverter is not PWM controlled, then the voltage is controlled
by using a controlled rectifier & frequency is controlled by the
inverter

voltages in the same way, as thyristors of a line commutated converter
are commutated by line voltages
- Commutation of thyristors by induced voltages of load is known as
load commutation

Motoring operation – for 0<αS<90 & 90<αL<180, source side converter
works as rectifier & load side converter as inverter causing power to
flow from AC source to motor

- This condition is achieved by making the frequency of load side
converter output voltage equal to frequency of voltage induced in the

- Normally hall sensors are used to obtain rotor position information
- The difference between CSI fed induction motor drive & synchronous
motor drive is that induction motor drive uses forced commutation &
synchronous motor drive uses load commutation
