DIAGRAM CONTROLL
DIRECT ONLINE STARTER
To start, the contactor is closed, applying full line voltage to the motor
windings. The motor will draw a very high inrush current for a very short time, the
magnetic field in the iron, and then the current will be limited to the Locked Rotor
Current of the motor. The motor will develop Locked Rotor Torque and begin to
accelerate towards full speed.
As the motor accelerates, the current will begin to drop, but will not drop
significantly until the motor is at a high speed, typically about 85% of synchronous
speed. The actual starting current curve is a function of the motor design, and the
terminal voltage, and is totally independent of the motor load.
The motor load will affect the time taken for the motor to accelerate to full
speed and therefore the duration of the high starting current, but not the magnitude of
the starting current.
The objective of this starting method, which is used with three-phase induction motors, is
to reduce the starting current.
In starting position, current supply to the stator windings is connected in star (Y) for
starting. In the running position, current supply is reconnected to the windings in delta (∆)
once the motor has gained speed.
FORWARD REVERSE CONTROLL
The forward reverse motor control is used i a system where forward and
backward or upward and downward movement in the operation are needed. An
example of which are shown in figures below (a) and (b). Figure below (a)
shows forward and backward lateral movement of an overhead crane
driven by motor M. Figure below (b) shows a downward and upward
movement of a load is driven by motor lifter M.
