Steady-state motor efficiency control has been shown to provide significant motor loss savings and efficiency improvement. Including adjustable speed drive inverter losses into the steady-state motor control optimization is also of interest. What is shown here is the effect that these two efficiency improvement schemes have on the distribution of losses between the motor and the inverter when an efficiency...
Electric motors driven by pulse-width modulated (PWM) waveforms exhibit different power loss and heating characteristics than line-fed motors. Experimental results indicate that motor losses and heating increase as the drive switching frequency decreases. Motor power losses for low switching frequencies are described, and if the increase in motor power loss is high enough such that motor overheating...
Variable frequency drive efficiency plays an important role in green energy applications. However, how to accurately measure drive loss and efficiency is still a question to the industry. This paper reviews the powermeter method, calorimeter method, and factors that affect accuracy. After a calorimeter is constructed and calibrated, a variable frequency drive is tested using both methods. Test results...
