Chapter 4.2

An electric machine converts electrical power into mechanical power and vice versa. There are two main types: stationary electrical machines like transformers; and dynamic electrical machines like motors and generators. An electric drive system consists of a power source, electronic converter, motor, mechanical load, and controller with feedback from a sensing unit. Electrical drives have advantages like a large range of operation and high efficiency, but disadvantages include high initial cost, noise pollution, and vulnerability to power failures.

ELECTRICAL DRIVES/MACHINES

An electric machine is a device which converts electrical power


(voltages and currents) into mechanical power (torque and
rotational speed), and/or vice versa.

Advantages of Electrical Drive
 The following are the advantages of electrical drive.
 The electric drive has very large range of torque, speed
and power.
 Their working is independent of the environmental
condition.
 The electric drives are free from pollution.
 The electric drives operate on all the quadrants of speed
torque plane.
 The drive can easily be started and it does not require any
refuelling.
 The efficiency of the drives is high because fewer losses
occur on it.
Disadvantages of Electrical
Drive
 The power failure completely disabled the whole of the
system.
 The application of the drive is limited because it cannot
use in a place where the power supply is not available.
 It can cause noise pollution.
 The initial cost of the system is high.
 It has a poor dynamic response.
 The output power obtained from the drive is low.
 During the breakdown of conductors or short circuit, the
system may get damaged due to which several problems
occur.
