ABSTRACT

There are several terms used to describe devices that control speed. Variable

frequency drive uses power electronics vary the frequency of input power to motor, thereby

controlling motor speed. AC motor drives are widely used to control the speed of pumps,

blower speeds, machine tool speeds, conyeyor systems speeds and others applications that

require variable speed with variable torque. A modern industrial power system may include

variable frequency drive (VFD) loads at several locations. The complete system consists of

an ac voltage input that is put through a diode bridge rectifier to produce a dc output which

across a shunt capacitor, this will, in turn, feed the PWM inverter. The PWM inverter is

controlled to produce a desired sinusoidal voltage at a particular frequency.

CHAPTER 1

COMPANY PROFILE

1.1 Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Limited (ONGC) an Over view

Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Limited (ONGC) is an Indian multinational oil and

gas company headquartered in Dehradun, India. It is a Public Sector Undertaking (PSU) of the

Government of India, under the administrative control of the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural

Gas. It is India's largest oil and gas exploration and production company. It produces around 69%

of India's crude oil (equivalent to around 30% of the country's total demand) and around 62% of its

natural gas.

On 31 March 2013, its market capitalisation was INR 2.6 trillion (US$48.98 billion),

making it India's second largest publicly traded company. In a government survey for FY 2011-12,

it was ranked as the largest profit making PSU in India. ONGC has been ranked 357th in the

Fortune Global 500 list of the world's biggest corporations for the year 2012. It is ranked 22nd

among the Top 250 Global Energy Companies by Platts.

ONGC was founded on 14 August 1956 by Government of India, which currently holds a

68.94% equity stake. It is involved in exploring for and exploiting hydrocarbons in 26 sedimentary

basins of India, and owns and operates over 11,000 kilometers of pipelines in the country. Its

international subsidiary ONGC Videsh currently has projects in 15 countries. ONGC has

discovered 6 of the 7 commercially-producing Indian Basins, in the last 50 years, adding over 7.1

billion tonnes of In-place Oil & Gas volume of hydrocarbons in Indian basins. Against a global

decline of production from matured fields, ONGC has maintained production from its brownfields

like Mumbai High, with the help of aggressive investments in various IOR (Improved Oil

Recovery) and EOR (Enhanced Oil Recovery) schemes. ONGC has many matured fields with a

current recovery factor of 25-33%.Its Reserve Replacement Ratio for between 2005 and 2013, has

been more than one. During FY 2012-13, ONGC had to share the highest ever under-recovery of

INR 494.2 million (an increase of INR 49.6 million over the previous financial year) towards the

under-recoveries of Oil Marketing Companies (IOC, BPCL and HPCL).

1.2 History

1.2.1 Foundation to 1961

Before the independence of India, the Assam Oil Company in the north-eastern and

Attock Oil company in north-western part of the undivided India were the only oil producing

companies, with minimal exploration input. The major part of Indian sedimentary basins was

deemed to be unfit for development of oil and gas resources.

After independence, the Central Government of India realized the importance of oil and gas for

rapid industrial development and its strategic role in defense. Consequently, while framing the

Industrial Policy Statement of 1948, the development of petroleum industry in the country was

considered to be of utmost necessity.

Until 1955, private oil companies mainly carried out exploration of hydrocarbon resources

of India. In Assam, the Assam Oil Company was producing oil at Digboi (discovered in 1889) and

Oil India Ltd. (a 50% joint venture between Government of India and Burmah Oil Company) was

engaged in developing two newly discovered large fields Naharkatiya and Moraan in Assam. In

West Bengal, the Indo-Stanvac Petroleum project (a joint venture between Government of India

and Standard Vacuum Oil Company of USA) was engaged in exploration work. The vast

sedimentary tract in other parts of India and adjoining offshore remained largely unexplored

In 1955, Government of India decided to develop the oil and natural gas resources in the

various regions of the country as part of the Public Sector development. With this objective, an Oil

and Natural Gas Directorate was set up towards the end of 1955, as a subordinate office under the

then Ministry of Natural Resources and Scientific Research. The department was constituted with a

nucleus of geoscientists from the Geological Survey of India.

A delegation under the leadership of the Minister of Natural Resources visited several

European countries to study the status of oil industry in those countries and to facilitate the training

of Indian professionals for exploring potential oil and gas reserves. Experts from Romania, the

Soviet Union, the United States and West Germany subsequently visited India and helped the

government with their expertise. Soviet experts later drew up a detailed plan for geological and

geophysical surveys and drilling operations to be carried out in the 2nd Five Year Plan (1956-61).

Page 15: TORQUE AND SPEED CONTROL OF SINGLE PHASE INDUCTION MOTOR USING VARIABLE FREQUENCY DRIVES (VFD)

3

In April 1956, the Government of India adopted the Industrial Policy Resolution, which

placed Mineral Oil Industry among the schedule 'A' industries, the future development of which

was to be the sole and exclusive responsibility of the state. Soon, after the formation of the Oil and

Natural Gas Directorate, it became apparent that it would not be possible for the Directorate with

its limited financial and administrative powers as subordinate office of the Government, to function

efficiently. So in August, 1956, the Directorate was raised to the status of a commission with

enhanced powers, although it continued to be under the government. In October 1959, the

Commission was converted into a statutory body by an act of the Indian Parliament, which

enhanced powers of the commission further. The main funct1ions of the Oil and Natural Gas

Commission subject to the provisions of the Act, were "to plan, promote, organize and implement

programs for development of Petroleum Resources and the production and sale of petroleum and

petroleum products produced by it, and to perform such other functions as the Central Government

may, from time to time, assign to it ". The act further outlined the activities and steps to be taken by

ONGC in fulfilling its mandate. by vicky singh

1.7 Sourcing Equity Oil Abroad

ONGC Videsh, a Miniratna Schedule “A” Central Public Sector Enterprise (CPSE) of the

Government of India under the administrative control of the Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas

is the wholly owned subsidiary and overseas arm of Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Limited

(ONGC), the flagship national oil company (NOC) of India. The primary business of ONGC

Videsh is to prospect for oil and gas acreages outside India, including exploration, development and

production of oil and gas.

ONGC Videsh was incorporated as Hydrocarbons India Pvt. Ltd. on 5 March 1965 to carry

out exploration and development of the Rostam and Raksh oil fields in Iran and undertaking a

service contract in Iraq. The company was rechristened as ONGC Videsh Limited on 15th June,

1989 with the prime objective of marketing the expertise of ONGC abroad. The nineties saw the

Company engaged in limited exploration activities in Egypt, Yemen, Tunisia and Vietnam.

In its new avatar as ONGC Videsh, the company from mid-nineties re-oriented its focus on

acquiring quality overseas oil and gas assets. ONGC Videsh, which had one asset in year 2000,

gradually succeeded in competing with the best in the international arena and could conclude many

large transactions across the world in subsequent years. Presently, ONGC Videsh owns

Participating Interests in 33 oil and gas assets in 16 countries and contributes to 14.5% and 8% of

oil and natural gas production of India respectively. In terms of reserves and production, ONGC

Videsh is the second largest petroleum Company of India, next only to its parent ONGC.

ONGC Videsh’s oil and gas operations produced 8.36 MMT of oil and oil equivalent gas in

2013-14 as against 0.252 MMT of O+OEG in 2002-03. ONGC Videsh’s overseas cumulative

investment up to 31st March, 2014 has crossed USD 22 billion.

The sequence of operations is as follows when a land well is drilled:

The sequence of operations is as follows when a land well is drilled:

Prepare location before rig arrives.

Dig cellar

Install conductor pipe

Prepare support pad for rig, camp, etc

Build roads, fencing, dig pits

Sometimes drill water well.

Move rig on to location, rig up and prepare to start drilling.

Page 23: TORQUE AND SPEED CONTROL OF SINGLE PHASE INDUCTION MOTOR USING VARIABLE FREQUENCY DRIVES (VFD)

11

1.16.2.2 Marine Rigs Drilling Rigs

Two main types:

1. floating

2. bottom-supported unit

Floating unit include: semisubmersible (bottle-type, column stabilized), barge rig and drill

ship.

Bottom-supported unit include: submersible (posted barges, bottle-type submersibles, arctic

submersibles), jackups and platforms.

1.16.2.2.1 Floating Rigs

An oil platform, offshore platform, or (colloquially) oil rig is a large structure with facilities

to drill wells, to extract and process oil and natural gas, or to temporarily store product until it can

be brought to shore for refining and marketing. In many cases, the platform contains facilities to

house the workforce as well.

Depending on the circumstances, the platform may be fixed to the ocean floor, may consist

of an artificial island, or may float. Remote subsea wells may also be connected to a platform by

flow lines and by umbilical connections. These subsea solutions may consist of one or more subsea

wells, or of one or more manifold centres for multiple wells.

1.16.2.2.1.1 Semi Submersible

This floating drilling unit has columns when flooded with seawater, cause the structure

submerge to a predetermined depth. Although it is moved by wave action, it sits low with a large

part of its structure under water combined with eight huge mooring anchors, make it a very stable

installation. This type of rig drills a hole in the seabed then it moves to the next location. With

advancing technology some semi submersibles can drill in water depths over five thousand feet.

Figure 02: Semi Submersible

Page 24: TORQUE AND SPEED CONTROL OF SINGLE PHASE INDUCTION MOTOR USING VARIABLE FREQUENCY DRIVES (VFD)

12

1.16.2.2.1.2 Platform

This immobile structure can be built from concrete or steel and rests on the seabed. When

oil or gas is located a platform may be constructed to drill further wells at that site and also to

produce the hydrocarbon.

Figure 03: Platform

1.16.2.2.1.3 Jack up

This is a mobile drilling rig, different from the semi submersible. Instead of floating over

its drilling location the Jackup has long leg structures, which it lowers to and into the seabed raising

the rig out of the water.The obvious limitation with this type of installation is the depth of water it

can operate in.The maximum being five hundred feet.

Figure 04: Jack up

1.16.3 Rotary Drilling

Rotary drilling uses a sharp, rotating drill bit to dig down through the Earth's crust.The spinning of

the drill bit allows for penetration of even the hardest rock. The actual mechanics of modern rigs

are quite complicated.In addition, technology advances so rapidly that new innovations are being

Page 25: TORQUE AND SPEED CONTROL OF SINGLE PHASE INDUCTION MOTOR USING VARIABLE FREQUENCY DRIVES (VFD)

13

introduced constantly. A rotary drilling rig with some of its major components identified is

illustrated in the next figure.

Figure 05: Rotary Drilling

The basic rotary drilling system consists of four groups of components.

Prime movers

Hoisting equipment

Rotating equipment

Circulating equipment

Page 26: TORQUE AND SPEED CONTROL OF SINGLE PHASE INDUCTION MOTOR USING VARIABLE FREQUENCY DRIVES (VFD)

14

1.16.3.1 Prime Movers

The prime movers in a rotary drilling rig are those pieces of equipment that provide the

power to the entire rig.

Recently, while diesel engines still compose the majority of power sources on rotary rigs,

other types of engines are also in use.

Some rotary rigs may use electricity directly from power lines. Most rotary rigs these days

require 1,000 to 3,000 horsepower, while shallow drilling rigs may require as little as

500 horsepower.

The energy from these prime movers is used to power the rotary equipment, the hoisting

equipment, and the circulating equipment.

1.16.3.2 Hoisting Equipments

The hoisting equipment on a rotary rig consists of the tools used to raise and lower whatever

other equipment may go into or come out of the well. The most visible part of the hoisting

equipment is the derrick, the tall tower-like structure that extends vertically from the well hole. The

hoisting system is made up of the drawworks, derrick, crown block, traveling block, hook and wire

rope. If a drill bit needs to be changed, either due to tear or a change in the subsurface rock, the

whole string of pipe must be raised to the surface. The hoisting equipment is used to raise all of this

equipment to the surface so that the drill bit may be replaced. Whenever the drillstem is suspended

by the traveling blockand drill line, the entire load rests on the derrick. The standard pyramid

derrick is a structure with four supporting legs resting on a square base.

In comparison, a mast is much more slender and may be thought of as sitting on one side of the rig

floor or work space.The derrick is erected on a substructure which supports the rig floor and rotary

table and provides work space for the equipment on the rig floor.

CHAPATER 2

INTRODUCTION

2.1 OVER VIEW OF THE PROJECT

Variable frequency drive (VFD) usage has increased dramatically in HVAC applications.

The VFDs are now commonly applied to air handlers, pumps and tower fans. A better

understanding of VFDs will lead to improved application and selection of both equipment and

HVAC systems. This paper is intended to provide basic a understanding of common VFD terms,

VFD operation and VFD benefits.

In addition to this paper will discuss some basic application guidelines regarding harmonic

distortion with respect to industry standards. A modern adjustable speed AC machine system is

equipped with an adjustable frequency drive that is a power electronic device for speed control of

an electric machine. It controls the speed of the electric machine by converting the fixed voltage

and frequency of the grid to adjustable values on the machine side.

There are many types of inverters, and they are classified according to number of phases,

use of power semiconductor devices, commutation principles, and output Waveforms. The new

standard has been greatly expanded and is now “recommended practices and requirements” rather

than just guidelines. Considerable input was received from the electric utilities and, as a result,

stringent limits have been placed on individual as well as total current harmonic distortion.

Considerable importance is given to the customer utility interface. The limits on voltage distortion

and line notching remain unchanged.

The most common solution employed for adjustable-speed drives (ASDs) is the voltage-

source-inverter (VSI)-fed induction motor. The inverter generates a pulse width modulation (PWM)

output voltage, presenting many advantages: high efficiency (up to 98%), low sensitivity to line

transients, open-circuit protection, constant high input power factor, multimode application

capability, small relative size, common bus regeneration, wide speed range, and excellent speed

regulation. In order to decrease the switching losses, fast switching devices like insulated gate

bipolar transistors (MOSFETs) are used.

As a consequence, MOSFET-based drives have smaller heat sinks, which make the whole

drive enclosure smaller, thus reducing overall cost. The combination of simpler, faster control

circuits and higher carrier frequencies allows higher performance drives with high starting torque

and especially good performance at low speeds. The developed hardware is tested on a three phase ,

Page 31: TORQUE AND SPEED CONTROL OF SINGLE PHASE INDUCTION MOTOR USING VARIABLE FREQUENCY DRIVES (VFD)

19

230V , 50Hz induction motor. According to the requirement a program is written and is fed to the

Micro-Controller for necessary action.

The inverter output current is regulated by a sine wave reference, generated by PWM

technique, and the MOSFETs are triggered at constant delay angle. The waveforms are analyzed

and studies on digital display operator.

2.2 OBJECTIVE

Induction motors are fixed speed motors which are used in most industries because of its

reduced cost, reliability and rugged nature. In industrial applications which require variable speed,

the use of induction motor is limited as a result of low efficiency and high cost penalty associated

with the existing control techniques. The improvement and advancement in power electronics has

led to the production of ac motor drives known as a variable frequency drive (VFD), which are

now used to control the speed of induction motors at reduced production and maintenance cost with

increased efficiency. A variable-frequency drive (VFD) is a system for controlling the rotational

speed or torque of an alternating current (AC) electric motor by controlling the frequency of the

electric power supplied to the motor.

A variable frequency drive is a type of adjustable speed drive also referred to as AC drives,

adjustable frequency drives, frequency converters, micro drive or inverter drives. It controls the

speed of the electric machine by converting the frequency of the grid to adjustable values on the

machine side, thus allowing the electric motor to quickly and easily adjust its speed to the required

value. The two major functions of a variable frequency drive are to provide power conversion from

one frequency to another, and to enable control of the output frequency. Variable-frequency drives

are used in applications ranging from small appliances to the largest of mine mill drives and

compressors. They are also widely used in ventilation systems for large buildings, variable

frequency motors on fans which save energy by allowing the volume of air moved to match the

system demand. They are also used on pumps, conveyors and machine tools drives. Variable

frequency drives can be classified as;

• AC variable frequency drives

• Current source input variable frequency drives

• Pulse width modulated variable frequency drives

• Flux vector pulse width variable frequency drives.

CHAPTER 3

PROPOSED SYSTEM AND EXPLAINATION

3.1 INTRODUCTION

The speed of induction motor is directly proportional to the supply frequency and no. of poles of

motor. Variable speed drive by using frequency control method is commonly used to control and

change the speed of single phase induction motor. It can vary the desired speed by changing the

frequency using switching sequence of MOSFET. To get low cost,high performance speed control

circuit is design.

The block diagram of the proposed speed control of three phase induction motor by variable

frequency drive is shown in figure 8, the block diagram has the following blocks

(1) Single phase full bridge rectifier.

(2) Single phase full bridge MOSFET based inverter.

(3) Control circuit.

(4) Speed sensing unit.

In This System we are using PIC microcontroller. It is the flash type microcontroller in

which we have already programmed. By using the software instruction we are generating PWM

wave in the PIC microcontroller. Then the PWM wave is given to PWM driver circuit. The PWM

driver circuit contains with MOSFET. The induction motor interface with MOSFET and speed

sensor Then PWM pulse is given to MOSFET driver circuit. MOSFET driver circuit is used to

control the ON OFF time of MOSFET according PWM pulse from PIC microcontroller. The

MOSFET is nothing but metal oxide field Effect Transistor. In this project we are using four set of

MOSFET is used. Through the driver circuit switching time between the MOSFET‘s is varied. At

the time of high portion in the PWM wave two MOSFET is switched ON and remaining OFF. At

the time of low portion of PWM wave another two MOSFET is switched ON, before two MOSFET

is switched OFF. Through this wave circuit AC voltage is generated. Then AC voltage is given to

step up transform in order to step up into 230V. So the output of the transformer is 230V AC. This

voltage and given to motor.

The Speed is monitored by the proximity sensor. It is the one type of transducer. It detects

the metals and generates the voltage pulse. We fixed the metal plate in the motor shaft. So

whenever the metal plate is crossed, the proximity sensor generates the pulse. The corresponding

pulse signal is given to microcontroller. Now the microcontrollers display the pulse rate or speed

will display on the LCD display which is equal to speed of the motor. Here the voltage is measured

by potential transformer then it will give to precession rectifier this rectifier convert 0 to 5v level.

Then this precession rectifier gave to ADC. The ADC nothing but analog to digital converter after

converting this voltage is given to microcontroller the microcontroller display the voltage in LCD

display. The speed we can set through keypad.

CHAPTER 4

HARADWARE IMPLEMENTATION

4.1 POWER SUPPLY

There are many types of power supply. Most are designed to convert high voltage AC mains

electricity to a suitable low voltage supply for electronics’ circuits and other devices. A power

supply can by broken down into a series of blocks, each of which performs a particular function.

For example a 5V regulated supply:

Figure 09: Power Supply

4.1.1 Transformer

Steps down high voltage AC mains to low voltage AC. Transformers convert AC

electricity from one voltage to another with little loss of power. Transformers work only with AC

and this is one of the reasons why mains electricity is AC.

Step-up transformers increase voltage, step-down transformers reduce voltage. Most power

supplies use a step-down transformer to reduce the dangerously high mains voltage (230V in UK)

to a safer low voltage.

The input coil is called the primary and the output coil is called the secondary. There is no

electrical connection between the two coils, instead they are linked by an alternating magnetic field

created in the soft-iron core of the transformer. The two lines in the middle of the circuit symbol

represent the core.

Page 35: TORQUE AND SPEED CONTROL OF SINGLE PHASE INDUCTION MOTOR USING VARIABLE FREQUENCY DRIVES (VFD)

23

Figure 10: Transformer

Transformers waste very little power so the power out is (almost) equal to the power in. Note that

as voltage is stepped down current is stepped up.

The ratio of the number of turns on each coil, called the turn’s ratio, determines the ratio of the

voltages. A step-down transformer has a large number of turns on its primary (input) coil which is

connected to the high voltage mains supply, and a small number of turns on its secondary (output)

coil to give a low output voltage.

4.1.2 Rectifier

Converts AC to DC, but the DC output is varying.There are several ways of connecting

diodes to make a rectifier to convert AC to DC. The bridge rectifier is the most important and it

produces full-wave varying DC. A full-wave rectifier can also be made from just two diodes if a

centre-tap transformer is used, but this method is rarely used now that diodes are cheaper. A single

diode can be used as a rectifier but it only uses the positive (+) parts of the AC wave to produce

half-wave varying DC.

Page 36: TORQUE AND SPEED CONTROL OF SINGLE PHASE INDUCTION MOTOR USING VARIABLE FREQUENCY DRIVES (VFD)

24

4.1.3 Single Diode Rectifier

A single diode can be used as a rectifier but this produces half-wave varying DC which has

gaps when the AC is negative. It is hard to smooth this sufficiently well to supply electronic circuits

unless they require a very small current so the smoothing capacitor does not significantly discharge

during the gaps. Please see the Diodes page for some examples of rectifier diodes.

Figure 11: single diode rectifier

4.1.4 Bridge Rectifier

A bridge rectifier can be made using four individual diodes, but it is also available in special

packages containing the four diodes required. It is called a full-wave rectifier because it uses all the

AC wave (both positive and negative sections). 1.4V is used up in the bridge rectifier because each

diode uses 0.7V when conducting and there are always two diodes conducting, as shown in the

diagram below. Bridge rectifiers are rated by the maximum current they can pass and the maximum

reverse voltage they can withstand (this must be at least three times the supply RMS voltage so the

rectifier can withstand the peak voltages). Please see the Diodes page for more details, including

pictures of bridge rectifiers.

Figure 12: Bridge rectifier

Page 37: TORQUE AND SPEED CONTROL OF SINGLE PHASE INDUCTION MOTOR USING VARIABLE FREQUENCY DRIVES (VFD)

25

4.1.5 Smoothing (filter)

Smoothing is performed by a large value electrolytic capacitor connected across the DC

supply to act as a reservoir, supplying current to the output when the varying DC voltage from the

rectifier is falling. The diagram shows the unsmoothed varying DC (dotted line) and the smoothed

DC (solid line). The capacitor charges quickly near the peak of the varying DC, and then discharges

as it supplies current to the output.

Figure 13: Smoothing (filter)

Note that smoothing significantly increases the average DC voltage to almost the peak value (1.4 ×

RMS value). For example 6V RMS AC is rectified to full wave DC of about 4.6V RMS (1.4V is

lost in the bridge rectifier), with smoothing this increases to almost the peak value giving 1.4 × 4.6

= 6.4V smooth DC.

Smoothing is not perfect due to the capacitor voltage falling a little as it discharges, giving a small

ripple voltage. For many circuits a ripple which is 10% of the supply voltage is satisfactory and the

equation below gives the required value for the smoothing capacitor. A larger capacitor will give

fewer ripples. The capacitor value must be doubled when smoothing half-wave DC.

C = smoothing capacitance in farads (F)

Io = output current from the supply in amps (A)

Vs = supply voltage in volts (V), this is the peak value of the unsmoothed DC

f = frequency of the AC supply in hertz (Hz), 50Hz in the UK.

Page 38: TORQUE AND SPEED CONTROL OF SINGLE PHASE INDUCTION MOTOR USING VARIABLE FREQUENCY DRIVES (VFD)

26

4.1.6 Regulator

Voltage regulator ICs are available with fixed (typically 5, 12 and 15V) or variable output

voltages. They are also rated by the maximum current they can pass. Negative VO. To make things

really simple let’s start with a simple power supply and it is also the one they usually give you in

your first electronics project. Well the reason is quite obvious because all electronics circuits

require a DC power supply to work. You really do plug in the wires of your electronic items in AC

mains supply but they do have AC to DC converters too provide DC to the circuits. All this is done

with a power supply in the right place.

4.1.7 Pin diagram for 7805

1. Unregulated voltage in

2. Ground

3. Regulated voltage out.

Figure 14: Pin diagram for 7805

This circuit is a small +5V power supply. The circuit will provide a regulated voltage to the

external circuit which may also I am required in any part of the external circuit or the whole

external circuit. The best part is that you can also use it to convert AC voltage to DC and then

regulate it ,simply You need a transformer to make the AC main drop down to a safe value i.e 12-

15 volts and then us a rectifier to convert AC into DC.

This circuit can give +5V output at about 150 mA current, but it can be increased to 1 A

when good cooling is added to 7805 regulator chip. The circuit has over overload and terminal

protection. The capacitors must have enough high voltage rating to safely handle the input voltage

feed to circuit. The circuit is very easy to build for example into a piece of overboard. If you need

other voltages than +5V, you can modify the circuit by replacing the 7805 chips with another

Page 39: TORQUE AND SPEED CONTROL OF SINGLE PHASE INDUCTION MOTOR USING VARIABLE FREQUENCY DRIVES (VFD)

27

regulator with different output voltage from regulator 78xx chip family. The last numbers in the

chip code tells the output voltage. Remember that the input voltage must be at least 3V greater than

regulator output voltage to otherwise the regulator does not work well. Don’t forget to check the

pin diagram before connecting the IC.

4.1.8 Power supply circuit diagram

Figure 14: Power supply diagram

4.1.9 Circuit Description

The 230/240VAC line voltage is applied to the transformer primary. Step down transformer

is used to convert 230VAC to 12V/1A output voltage in the transformer secondary. This 12VAC

supply is applied to the bridge rectifier. The bridge rectifier voltage rating should be double the

Vrms of secondary AC and higher forward current rating. The bridge rectifier has four diodes in

that, available as singular. This is the most important and it produces full-wave varying DC or

pulsating DC. This rectified output is smoothed by using shunt capacitor filter (C1). The larger the

filter capacitor lowers the ripple. The larger capacitor C1 across the input bypasses AC ripples to

ground. The pure DC output reaches the regulator IC. The 7805 Voltage regulator IC (U1) gives 5V

/1A regulated output. The capacitor (C2) across the output improves transient response. Low power

red LED is used in the output for power indication. It has voltage drop of 1.8V and gives brightness

at 20 mA. This is done by current limiting resistor (R1).

R = (Vout – Vf) / I

Where, Vout –output voltage; Vf- led voltage drop; I- led forward current.

Page 40: TORQUE AND SPEED CONTROL OF SINGLE PHASE INDUCTION MOTOR USING VARIABLE FREQUENCY DRIVES (VFD)

28

From this we get R as 160E. We use the standard value of 220E. The higher value of limiting

resistor gives low brightness but longer life time. So, here 470E is used.

4.2 KEYPAD

A numeric keypad, or numpad for short, is the small, palm-sized, seventeen key section of a

computer keyboard, usually on the very far right. The numeric keypad features digits 0 to 9,

addition (+), subtraction (-), multiplication (*) and division (/) symbols, a decimal point (.) and

Num Lock and Enter keys. Laptop keyboards often do not have a numpad, but may provide

numpad input by holding a modifier key (typically lapelled "Fn") and operating keys on the

standard keyboard.

Particularly large laptops (typically those with a 17 inch screen or larger) may have space

for a real numpad, and many companies sell separate numpads which connect to the host laptop by

a USB connection.

Numeric keypads usually operate in two modes: when Num Lock is off, keys 8, 6, 2, 4 act

like an arrow keys and 7, 9, 3, 1 act like Home, PgUp, PgDn and End; when Num Lock is on, digits

keys produce corresponding digits. These, however, differ from the numeric keys at the top of the

keyboard in that, when combined with the Alt key on a PC, they are used to enter characters which

may not be otherwise available: for example, Alt-0169 produces the copyright symbol. These are

referred to as Alt codes.

On Apple Computer Macintosh computers, which lack a Num Lock key, the numeric

keypad always produces only numbers. The num lock key is replaced by the clear key.

Figure 16: Keypad

Numeric keypads usually operate in two modes: when Num Lock is off, keys 8, 6, 2, 4 act like an

arrow keys and 7, 9, 3, 1 act like Home, PgUp, PgDn and End; when Num.

types, with or without backlight. The use of C-MOS LCD controller and driver ICs result in low

power consumption. These modules can be interfaced with a 4-bit or 8-bit micro processor /Micro

(DR). The IR stores the instruction codes and address information for display data RAM (DD

RAM) and character generator RAM (CG RAM). The IR can be written, but not read by the MPU.

The DR temporally stores data to be written to /read from the DD RAM or CG RAM. The

data written to DR by the MPU, is automatically written to the DD RAM or CG RAM as an

internal operation.

When an address code is written to IR, the data is automatically transferred from the DD

RAM or CG RAM to the DR. data transfer between the MPU is then completed when the MPU

reads the DR. likewise, for the next MPU read of the DR, data in DD RAM or CG RAM at the

address is sent to the DR automatically. Similarly, for the MPU write of the DR, the next DD RAM

or CG RAM address is selected for the write operation.

Busy Flag

When the busy flag is1, the controller is in the internal operation mode, and the next

instruction will not be accepted.

When RS = 0 and R/W = 1, the busy flag is output to DB7.

The next instruction must be written after ensuring that the busy flag is 0.

Address Counter

The address counter allocates the address for the DD RAM and CG RAM read/write

operation when the instruction code for DD RAM address or CG RAM address setting, is input to

IR, the address code is transferred from IR to the address counter. After writing/reading the display

data to/from the DD RAM or CG RAM, the address counter increments/decrements by one the

address, as an internal operation. The data of the address counter is output to DB0 to DB6 while

R/W = 1 and RS = 0.

Display Data Ram (DD RAM)

The characters to be displayed are written into the display data RAM (DD RAM), in the

form of 8 bit character codes present in the character font table. The extended capacity of the DD

RAM is 80 x 8 bits i.e. 80 characters.

4.3.2 Interfacing The Microprocessor / Controller:

The module, interfaced to the system, can be treated as RAM input/output, expanded or

parallel I/O.

Since there is no conventional chip select signal, developing a strobe signal for the enable

signal (E) and applying appropriate signals to the register select (RS) and read/write (R/W) signals

are important.The module is selected by gating a decoded module – address with the host –

processor’s read/write strobe. The resultant signal, applied to the LCDs enable (E) input, clocks in

the data. The ‘E’ signal must be a positive going digital strobe, which is active while data and

control information are stable and true. The falling edge of the enable signal enables the data /

instruction register of the controller. All module timings are referenced to specific edges of the ‘E’

signal. The ‘E’ signal is applied only when a specific module transaction is desired.

The read and write strobes of the host, which provides the ‘E’ signals, should not be linked

to the module’s R/W line. An address bit which sets up earlier in the host’s machine cycle can be

used as R/W.When the host processor is so fast that the strobes are too narrow to serve as the ‘E’

pulse

a. Prolong these pulses by using the hosts ‘Ready’ input

b. Prolong the host by adding wait states

c. Decrease the Hosts Crystal frequency.

Inspite of doing the above mentioned, if the problem continues, latch both the data and control

information and then activate the ‘E’ signal

When the controller is performing an internal operation he busy flag (BF) will set and will not

accept any instruction. The user should check the busy flag or should provide a delay of

approximately 2ms after each instruction.

The module presents no difficulties while interfacing slower MPUs.

The liquid crystal display module can be interfaced, either to 4-bit or 8-bit MPUs.

For 4-bit data interface, the bus lines DB4 to DB7 are used for data transfer, while DB0 to DB3

lines are disabled. The data transfer is complete when the 4-bit data has been transferred twice.

Page 44: TORQUE AND SPEED CONTROL OF SINGLE PHASE INDUCTION MOTOR USING VARIABLE FREQUENCY DRIVES (VFD)

32

The busy flag must be checked after the 4-bit data has been transferred twice. Two more 4-bit

operations then transfer the busy flag and address counter data.

For 8-bit data interface, all eight-bus lines (DB0 to DB7) are used.

4.4 MICRO CONTROLLER

The AT89C51 is a low-power, high-performance CMOS 8-bit microcomputer with 4K

bytes of Flash programmable and erasable read only memory (PEROM). The device is

manufactured using Atmel’s high-density non-volatile memory technology and is compatible with

the industry-standard MCS-51 instruction set and pin out. The on-chip Flash allows the program

memory to be reprogrammed in-system or by a conventional non-volatile memory programmer. By

combining a versatile 8-bit CPU with Flash on a monolithic chip, the Atmel AT89C51 is a

powerful microcomputer which provides a highly-flexible and cost-effective solution to many

embedded control applications.

4.4.2 Architecture of 80c51

The AT80C51is a high-performance static 80C51 design fabricated with Philips high-

density CMOS technology with operation from 2.7 V to 5.5 V. The 8xC51 and 8xC52 contain a

128 × 8 RAM and 256 × 8 RAM respectively, 32 I/O lines, three 16-bit counter/timers, a six-

source, four-priority level nested interrupt structure, a serial I/O port for either multi-processor

communications, I/O expansion or full duplex UART, and on-chip oscillator and clock circuits. In

addition, the device is a low power static design which offers a wide range of operating frequencies

down to zero. Two software selectable modes of power reduction—idle mode and power-down

mode are available. The idle mode freezes the CPU while allowing the RAM, timers, serial port,

and interrupt system to continue functioning. The power-down mode saves the RAM contents but

the oscillator, causing all other chip functions to be inoperative. Since the design is static, the clock

can be stopped without loss of user data and then the execution resumed from the point the clock

was stopped.

ALE/PROG

Address Latch Enable output pulse for latching the low byte of the address during accesses

to external memory. This pin is also the program pulse input (PROG) during Flash programming.

In normal operation ALE is emitted at a constant rate of 1/6 the oscillator frequency, and may be

used for external timing or clocking purposes. Note, however, that one ALE pulse is skipped during

each access to external Data Memory. If desired, ALE operation can be disabled by setting bit 0 of

Page 47: TORQUE AND SPEED CONTROL OF SINGLE PHASE INDUCTION MOTOR USING VARIABLE FREQUENCY DRIVES (VFD)

35

SFR location 8EH. With the bit set, ALE is active only during a MOVX or MOVC instruction.

Otherwise, the pin is weakly pulled high. Setting the ALE-disable bit has no effect if the

microcontroller is in external execution mode.

Port 0Port 0 is an 8-bit open-drain bi-directional I/O port. As an output port, each pin can sink

eight TTL inputs. When 1s are written to port 0 pins, the pins can be used as high-impedance

inputs. Port 0 may also be configured to be the multiplexed low-order address/data bus during

accesses to external pro-gram and data memory. In this mode P0 has internal pull ups. Port 0 also

receives the code bytes during Flash programming, and outputs the code bytes during program

verification. External pull ups are required during program verification.

Port 1Port 1 is an 8-bit bi-directional I/O port with internal pull ups. The Port 1 output buffers can

sink/source four TTL inputs. When 1s are written to Port 1 pins they are pulled high by the internal

pull ups and can be used as inputs. As inputs, Port 1 pins that are externally being pulled low will

source current (IIL) because of the internal pull ups. Port 1 also receives the low-order address

bytes during Flash programming and verification.

Port 2Port 2 is an 8-bit bi-directional I/O port with internal pull ups. The Port 2 output buffers can

sink/source four TTL inputs. When 1s are written to Port 2 pins they are pulled high by the internal

pull ups and can be used as inputs. As inputs, Port 2 pins that are externally being pulled low will

source current (IIL) because of the internal pull ups. Port 2 emits the high-order address byte during

fetches from external program memory and during accesses to external data memory that use 16-bit

addresses (MOVX @ DPTR). In this application, it uses strong internal pull ups when emitting 1s.

During accesses to external data memory that use 8-bit addresses (MOVX @ RI), Port 2 emits the

contents of the P2 Special Function Register. Port 2 also receives the high-order address bits and

some control signals during Flash programming and verification.

Port 3

Port 3 is an 8-bit bi-directional I/O port with internal pull ups. The Port 3 output buffers can

sink/source four TTL inputs. When 1s are written to Port 3 pins they are pulled high by the internal

pull ups and can be used as inputs. As inputs, Port 3 pins that are externally being pulled low will

source current (IIL) because of the pull ups.

Port 3 also serves the functions of various special features of the AT89C51 as listed below:

When the AT89C51 is executing code from external pro-gram memory, PSEN is activated twice

each machine cycle, except that two PSEN activations are skipped during each access to external

data memory.

EA/VPP

External Access Enable. EA must be strapped to GND in order to enable the device to fetch

code from external pro-gram memory locations starting at 0000H up to FFFFH. Note, however,

that if lock bit 1 is programmed, EA will be internally latched on reset.

EA should be strapped to VCC for internal program executions. This pin also receives the 12-volt

programming enable volt-age (VPP) during Flash programming, for parts that require 12-volt VPP.

XTAL1

Input to the inverting oscillator amplifier and input to the internal clock operating circuit.

XTAL2

Output from the inverting oscillator amplifier.

4.4.3 Oscillator Characteristics

XTAL1 and XTAL2 are the input and output, respectively, of an inverting amplifier which

can be configured for use as an on-chip oscillator, as shown in Figure 1. Either a quartz crystal or

ceramic resonator may be used. To drive the device from an external clock source, XTAL2 should

be leftunconnected while XTAL1 is driven as shown in Figure 2. There are no requirements on the

duty cycle of the external clock signal, since the input to the internal clocking circuitry is through a

divide-by-two flip-flop, but minimum and maxi-mum voltage high and low time specifications

must be observed.

Page 50: TORQUE AND SPEED CONTROL OF SINGLE PHASE INDUCTION MOTOR USING VARIABLE FREQUENCY DRIVES (VFD)

38

Figure 20: Oscillator characteristics

4.4.4 Idle Mode

In idle mode, the CPU puts itself to sleep while all the on-chip peripherals remain active.

The mode is invoked by software. The content of the on-chip RAM and all the special functions

registers remain unchanged during this mode. The idle mode can be terminated by any enabled

interrupt or by a hardware reset.

It should be noted that when idle is terminated by a hard ware reset, the device normally resumes

program execution, from where it left off, up to two machine cycles before the internal reset

algorithm takes control. On-chip hardware inhibits access to internal RAM in this event, but access

to the port pins is not inhibited.

To eliminate the possibility of an unexpected write to a port pin when Idle is terminated by

reset, the instruction following the one that invokes Idle should not be one that writes to a port pin

or to external memory.

4.4.5 Programming the Flash

The AT89C51 is normally shipped with the on-chip Flash memory array in the erased

state (that is, contents = FFH) and ready to be programmed. The programming interface accepts

either a high-voltage (12-volt) or a low-voltage (VCC) program enable signal. The low-voltage

program-ming mode provides a convenient way to program the AT89C51 inside the user’s system,

while the high-voltage programming mode is compatible with conventional third-party Flash or

EPROM programmers.The AT89C51 is shipped with either the high-voltage or low-voltage

programming mode enabled. The respective top-side marking and device signature codes are listed

in the following table.

The AT89C51 code memory array is programmed byte-by-byte in either programming mode. To

program any non-blank byte in the on-chip Flash Memory, the entire memory must be erased using

the Chip Erase Mode.

4.4.6 Programming Interface

Every code byte in the Flash array can be written and the entire array can be erased by using

the appropriate combination of control signals. The write operation cycle is self-timed and once

initiated, will automatically time itself to completion. All major programming vendors offer

worldwide support for the Atmel microcontroller series. Please contact your local programming

vendor for the appropriate software revision.

4.5 AUTOTRANSFORMER BASICS

Unlike the previous voltage transformer which has two electrically isolated windings called:

the primary and the secondary, an Autotransformer has only one single voltage winding which is

common to both sides. This single winding is “tapped” at various points along its length to provide

a percentage of the primary voltage supply across its secondary load. Then the autotransformer has

the usual magnetic core but only has one winding, which is common to both the primary and

secondary circuits.

Therefore in an autotransformer the primary and secondary windings are linked together

both electrically and magnetically. The main advantage of this type of transformer design is that it

can be made a lot cheaper for the same VA rating, but the biggest disadvantage of an

autotransformer is that it does not have the primary/secondary winding isolation of a conventional

double wound transformer.

The section of winding designated as the primary part of the winding is connected to the AC

power source with the secondary being part of this primary winding. An autotransformer can also

be used to step the supply voltage up or down by reversing the connections. If the primary is the

total winding and is connected to a supply, and the secondary circuit is connected across only a

portion of the winding, then the secondary voltage is “stepped-down” as shown.

Page 53: TORQUE AND SPEED CONTROL OF SINGLE PHASE INDUCTION MOTOR USING VARIABLE FREQUENCY DRIVES (VFD)

41

4.5.1 Autotransformer Design

Figure 21: Autotransformer Design

When the primary current IP is flowing through the single winding in the direction of the arrow as

shown, the secondary current, IS, flows in the opposite direction. Therefore, in the portion of the

winding that generates the secondary voltage, VS the current flowing out of the winding is the

difference of IP and IS.

The Autotransformer can also be constructed with more than one single tapping point. Auto-

transformers can be used to provide different voltage points along its winding or increase its supply

voltage with respect to its supply voltage VP as shown.

4.5.2 Autotransformer with Multiple Tapping Points

The standard method for marking an auto-transformer windings is to label it with capital

(upper case) letters. So for example, A, B, Z etc to identify the supply end. Generally the common

neutral connection is marked as N or n. For the secondary tapping’s, suffix numbers are used for all

tapping points along the auto-transformers primary winding. These numbers generally start at

number 1 and continue in ascending order for all tapping points as shown.

Figure 22: Autotransformer with Multiple Tapping Points

Page 54: TORQUE AND SPEED CONTROL OF SINGLE PHASE INDUCTION MOTOR USING VARIABLE FREQUENCY DRIVES (VFD)

42

4.5.3 Autotransformer Terminal Markings

Figure 23: Autotransformer Terminal Markings

An autotransformer is used mainly for the adjustments of line voltages to either change its

value or to keep it constant. If the voltage adjustment is by a small amount, either up or down, then

the transformer ratio is small as VP and VS are nearly equal. Currents IP and IS are also nearly

equal.

Therefore, the portion of the winding which carries the difference between the two currents can be

made from a much smaller conductor size, since the currents are much smaller saving on the cost of

an equivalent double wound transformer.

However, the regulation, leakage inductance and physical size (since there is no second

winding) of an autotransformer for a given VA or KVA rating are less than for a double wound

transformer.Autotransformer’s are clearly much cheaper than conventional double wound

transformers of the same VA rating. When deciding upon using an autotransformer it is usual to

compare its cost with that of an equivalent double wound type.

This is done by comparing the amount of copper saved in the winding. If the ratio “n” is

defined as the ratio of the lower voltage to the higher voltage, then it can be shown that the saving

in copper is: n.100%. For example, the saving in copper for the two autotransformer’s would be:

Figure 24: Autotransformer Terminal Markings

Page 55: TORQUE AND SPEED CONTROL OF SINGLE PHASE INDUCTION MOTOR USING VARIABLE FREQUENCY DRIVES (VFD)

43

4.5.4 Disadvantages of an Autotransformer

The main disadvantage of an autotransformer is that it does not have the primary to

secondary winding isolation of a conventional double wound transformer. Then autotransformer’s

can not safely be used for stepping down higher voltages to much lower voltages suitable for

smaller loads.

If the secondary side winding becomes open-circuited, current stops flowing through the

primary winding stopping the transformer action resulting in the full primary voltage being applied

to the secondary circuit. If the secondary circuit suffers a short-circuit condition, the resulting

primary current would be much larger than an equivalent double wound transformer due to the

increased flux linkage damaging the autotransformer.

Since the neutral connection is common to both the primary and secondary windings,

earthing of the secondary winding automatically Earths the primary as there is no isolation between

the two windings. Double wound transformers are sometimes used to isolate equipment from earth.

The autotransformer has many uses and applications including the starting of induction

motors, used to regulate the voltage of transmission lines, and can be used to transform voltages

when the primary to secondary ratio is close to unity.

An autotransformer can also be made from conventional two-winding transformers by

connecting the primary and secondary windings together in series and depending upon how the

connection is made, the secondary voltage may add to, or subtract from, the primary voltage.

4.5.5 The Variable Autotransformer

As well as having a fixed or tapped secondary that produces a voltage output at a specific level,

there is another useful application of the auto transformer type of arrangement which can be used to

produce a variable AC voltage from a fixed voltage AC supply. This type of Variable

Autotransformer is generally used in laboratories and science labs in schools and colleges and is

known more commonly as the Variac.

Page 56: TORQUE AND SPEED CONTROL OF SINGLE PHASE INDUCTION MOTOR USING VARIABLE FREQUENCY DRIVES (VFD)

44

Figure 25: Variable Autotransformer

The construction of a variable autotransformer, or variac, is the same as for the fixed type.

A single primary winding wrapped around a laminated magnetic core is used as in the auto

transformer but instead of being fixed at some predetermined tapping point, the secondary voltage

is tapped through a carbon brush. This carbon brush is rotated or allowed to slide along an exposed

section of the primary winding, making contact with it as it moves supplying the required voltage

level. Then a variable autotransformer contains a variable tap in the form of a carbon brush that

slides up and down the primary winding which controls the secondary winding length and hence

the secondary output voltage is fully variable from the primary supply voltage value to zero volts.

The variable autotransformer is usually designed with a significant number of primary

windings to produce a secondary voltage which can be adjusted from a few volts to fractions of a

volt per turn. This is achieved because the carbon brush or slider is always in contact with one or

more turns of the primary winding. As the primary coil turns are evenly spaced along its length.

Then the output voltage becomes proportional to the angular rotation.

Figure 26: Variable Autotransformer circuit diagram

Page 57: TORQUE AND SPEED CONTROL OF SINGLE PHASE INDUCTION MOTOR USING VARIABLE FREQUENCY DRIVES (VFD)

45

We can see that the variac can adjust the voltage to the load smoothly from zero to the rated supply

voltage. If the supply voltage was tapped at some point along the primary winding, then potentially

the output secondary voltage could be higher than the actual supply voltage.

Variable autotransformer’s can also be used for the dimming of lights and when used in this

type of application, they are sometimes called “dimmerstats”. Variac’s are also very useful in

Electrical and Electronics workshops and labs as they can be used to provide a variable AC supply.

But caution needs to be taken with suitable fuse protection to ensure that the higher supply voltage

is not present at the secondary terminals under fault conditions.

The Autotransformer have many advantages over conventional double wound transformers.

They are generally more efficient for the same VA rating, are smaller in size, and as they require

less copper in their construction, their cost is less compared to double wound transformers of the

same VA rating. Also, their core and copper losses, I2R are lower due to less resistance and leakage

reactance giving a superior voltage regulation than the equivalent two winding transformer.

In the next tutorial about Transformers we will look at another design of transformer which

does not have a conventional primary winding wound around its core. This type of transformer is

commonly called a Current Transformer and is used to supply ammeters and other such electrical

power indicators.

4.6 PWM BASED MOSFET DRIVER

Pulse-width modulation (PWM) of a signal or power source involves the modulation of its

duty cycle, to either convey information over a communications channel or control the amount of

power sent to a load.

Figure 27: Pulse-width modulation output wave

Page 58: TORQUE AND SPEED CONTROL OF SINGLE PHASE INDUCTION MOTOR USING VARIABLE FREQUENCY DRIVES (VFD)

46

4.6.1 Application

PWM can be used to reduce the total amount of power delivered to a load without losses

normally incurred when a power source is limited by resistive means. This is because the average

power delivered is proportional to the modulation duty cycle. With a sufficiently high modulation

rate, passive electronic filters can be used to smooth the pulse train and recover an average analog

waveform.

High frequency PWM power control systems are easily realisable with semiconductor

switches. The discrete on/off states of the modulation are used to control the state of the switch(es)

which correspondingly control the voltage across or current through the load. The major advantage

of this system is the switches are either off and not conducting any current, or on and have (ideally)

no voltage drop across them. The product of the current and the voltage at any given time defines

the power dissipated by the switch, thus (ideally) no power is dissipated by the switch.

Reallistically, semiconductor switches such as MOSFETs or BJTs are non-ideal switches, but high

efficiency controllers can still be built.

Figure 28: Pulse-width modulation pulse

PWM is also often used to control the supply of electrical power to another device such as

in speed control of electric motors, volume control of Class D audio amplifiers or brightness

control of light sources and many other power electronics applications. For example, light dimmers

for home use employ a specific type of PWM control. Home use light dimmers typically include

electronic circuitry which suppresses current flow during defined portions of each cycle of the AC

line voltage. Adjusting the brightness of light emitted by a light source is then merely a matter of

setting at what voltage (or phase) in the AC cycle the dimmer begins to provide electrical current to

the light source (e.g. by using an electronic switch such as a triac). In this case the PWM duty cycle

is defined by the frequency of the AC line voltage (50 Hz or 60 Hz depending on the country).

Page 59: TORQUE AND SPEED CONTROL OF SINGLE PHASE INDUCTION MOTOR USING VARIABLE FREQUENCY DRIVES (VFD)

47

These rather simple types of dimmers can be effectively used with inert (or relatively slow

reacting) light sources such as incandescent lamps, for example, for which the additional

modulation in supplied electrical energy which is caused by the dimmer causes only negligible

additional fluctuations in the emitted light. Some other types of light sources such as light-emitting

diodes (LEDs), however, turn on and off extremely rapidly and would perceivably flicker if

supplied with low frequency drive voltages. Perceivable flicker effects from such rapid response

light sources can be reduced by increasing the PWM frequency. If the light fluctuations are

sufficiently rapid, the human visual system can no longer resolve them and the eye perceives the

time average intensity without flicker.

4.6.2 Voltage Regulation

PWM is also used in efficient voltage regulators. By switching voltage to the load with the

appropriate duty cycle, the output will approximate a voltage at the desired level. The switching

noise is usually filtered with an inductor and a capacitor. One method measures the output voltage.

When it is lower than the desired voltage, it turns on the switch. When the output voltage is above

the desired voltage, it turns off the switch.

4.6.3 Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor (MOSFET)

The metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET, MOS-FET, or MOS

FET), is by far the most common field-effect transistor in both digital and analog circuits. The

MOSFET is composed of a channel of n-type or p-type semiconductor material (see article on

semiconductor devices), and is accordingly called an NMOSFET or a PMOSFET (also commonly

nMOSFET, pMOSFET, NMOS FET, PMOS FET, nMOS FET, pMOS FET).

The 'metal' in the name (for transistors up to the 65 nanometer technology node) is an

anachronism from early chips in which the gates were metal; They use polysilicon gates. IGFET is

a related, more general term meaning insulated-gate field-effect transistor, and is almost

synonymous with "MOSFET", though it can refer to FETs with a gate insulator that is not oxide.

Some prefer to use "IGFET" when referring to devices with polysilicon gates, but most still call

them MOSFETs. With the new generation of high-k technology that Intel and IBM have

announced, metal gates in conjunction with the high-k dielectric material replacing the silicon

dioxide are making a comeback replacing the polysilicon.

Page 60: TORQUE AND SPEED CONTROL OF SINGLE PHASE INDUCTION MOTOR USING VARIABLE FREQUENCY DRIVES (VFD)

48

Usually the semiconductor of choice is silicon, but some chip manufacturers, most notably

IBM, have begun to use a mixture of silicon and germanium (SiGe) in MOSFET channels.

Unfortunately, many semiconductors with better electrical properties than silicon, such as gallium

arsenide, do not form good gate oxides and thus are not suitable for MOSFETs.

The gate terminal in the current generation (65 nanometer node) of MOSFETs is a layer of

polysilicon (polycrystalline silicon; why polysilicon is used will be explained below) placed over

the channel, but separated from the channel by a thin insulating layer of what was traditionally

silicon dioxide, but more advanced technologies used silicon oxynitride. The next generation (45

nanometer and beyond) uses a high-k + metal gate combination. When a voltage is applied between

the gate and source terminals, the electric field generated penetrates through the oxide and creates a

so-called "inversion channel" in the channel underneath. The inversion channel is of the same type

— P-type or N-type — as the source and drain, so it provides a conduit through which current can

pass. Varying the voltage between the gate and body modulates the conductivity of this layer and

makes it possible to control the current flow between drain and source.

4.6.4 PWM Based MOSFET Driver Circuit Diagram

Figure 29: PWM Based MOSFET Driver Circuit Diagram

4.6.5 Circuit Working Description

This circuit is mainly designed to control the speed of the AC induction motor and DC

motor. The MOSFET are used to control the speed of the motor by varying the supply voltage to

the motors. The MOSFET is switched with very high speed with the help of PWM waves. The

Page 61: TORQUE AND SPEED CONTROL OF SINGLE PHASE INDUCTION MOTOR USING VARIABLE FREQUENCY DRIVES (VFD)

49

PWM waves are generated by the PIC microcontroller. The PWM time period and duty cycle is

controlled by the software.

In the microcontroller we are generating two PWM waves with different time period. They

are used to drive the two set of MOSFET drivers through AND gate. So the AND gate is used to

change the switching time between the two set of MOSFET drivers. When the duty cycle of both

the PWM waves is high, the output of the AND (IN1) gate is high which is given to transistor

network. The transistor network is consists of BC 547 and BC 557 transistor. Now the both the

transistor is conducting, due to that 12v is given to MOSFET Q1 and Q2 gates. So the MOSFET

are switched ON and delivered the output on the center tapped transformer.

In the center tapped transformer, the DC input is given to middle terminal and other two end

terminals are connected in the each of the MOSFET drivers Drain terminal. The DC input negative

terminal is connected in the source terminal. Similarly in the next of duty cycle, another AND gate

(IN2) output is high which drive another set of MOSFET drivers. Due to high switching speed the

given DC input is converted to related sine wave which is step up through the transformer. This AC

voltage is delivered in the transformer secondary.

This AC voltage can be used to drive the AC induction motor. Suppose if you want to drive

the DC motor the corresponding AC voltage is rectified through bridge rectifier.

4.7 IR (U-SLOT) SPEED SENSOR

This circuit is designed to monitor the speed of the motor. The holes type pulley is

attached in the motor shaft. The pulley is rotated across the uslot. The uslot consists of IR

transmitter and receiver.

Infrared transmitter is one type of LED which emits infrared rays generally called as IR

Transmitter. Similarly IR Receiver is used to receive the IR rays transmitted by the IR transmitter.

One important point is both IR transmitter and receiver should be placed straight line to each other.

When supply is ON, the IR transmitter LED is conducting it passes the IR rays to the receiver.

The IR receiver is connected to base of the BC 547 switching transistor through resistors. When

motor is not rotating the IR transmitter passes the rays to the receiver.

The IR receiver LED is conducting due to that less than 0.7V is given to transistor base so

that transistor is not conducting. Now the VCC +5V is given to the input of the inverter (IC7404)

and zero taken as output. When motor is rotating, the pulley attached in the shaft also rotating, so it

interprets the IR rays between transmitter and receiver. Hence IR receiver LED is not conducting

due to that more than 0.7V is given to base of the transistor. Now the transistor is conducting so it

shorts the collector and emitter terminal. The zero voltage is given to inverter input and +5v is

taken in the output. Hence depends on the motor speed the zero to 5v square pulse is generating at

the output which is given to microcontroller in order to count the pulse. This pulse rate is equal to

the monitored speed of the motor.

4.8 SINGLE PHASE INDUCTION MOTOR

An induction or asynchronous motor is an AC electric motor in which the electric current in

the rotor needed to produce torque is obtained by electromagnetic induction from the magnetic field

of the stator winding. An induction motor therefore does not require mechanical commutation,

separate-excitation or self-excitation for all or part of the energy transferred from stator to rotor, as

in universal, DC and large synchronous motors. An induction motor's rotor can be either wound

type or squirrel-cage type.

Figure 31: Single Phase Induction Motor

Three-phase squirrel-cage induction motors are widely used in industrial drives because

they are rugged, reliable and economical. Single-phase induction motors are used extensively for

smaller loads, such as household appliances like fans. Although traditionally used in fixed-speed

service, induction motors are increasingly being used with variable-frequency drives (VFDs) in

variable-speed service. VFDs offer especially important energy savings opportunities for existing

and prospective induction motors in variable-torque centrifugal fan, pump and compressor load

applications. Squirrel cage induction motors are very widely used in both fixed-speed and VFD

applications.

4.8.1 Operating principle

In both induction and synchronous motors, the AC power supplied to the motor's stator

creates a magnetic field that rotates in time with the AC oscillations. Whereas a synchronous

motor's rotor turns at the same rate as the stator field, an induction motor's rotor rotates at a slower

speed than the stator field. The induction motor stator's magnetic field is therefore changing or

rotating relative to the rotor. This induces an opposing current in the induction motor's rotor, in

effect the motor's secondary winding, when the latter is short-circuited or closed through an

external impedance.

The rotating magnetic flux induces currents in the windings of the rotor; in a manner similar

to currents induced in a transformer's secondary winding(s). The currents in the rotor windings in

turn create magnetic fields in the rotor that react against the stator field. Due to Lenz's Law, the

Page 64: TORQUE AND SPEED CONTROL OF SINGLE PHASE INDUCTION MOTOR USING VARIABLE FREQUENCY DRIVES (VFD)

52

direction of the magnetic field created will be such as to oppose the change in current through the

rotor windings. The cause of induced current in the rotor windings is the rotating stator magnetic

field, so to oppose the change in rotor-winding currents the rotor will start to rotate in the direction

of the rotating stator magnetic field.

The rotor accelerates until the magnitude of induced rotor current and torque balances the

applied load. Since rotation at synchronous speed would result in no induced rotor current, an

induction motor always operates slower than synchronous speed. The difference, or "slip," between

actual and synchronous speed varies from about 0.5 to 5.0% for standard Design B torque curve

induction motors. The induction machine's essential character is that it is created solely by

induction instead of being separately excited as in synchronous or DC machines or being self-

magnetized as in permanent magnet motors. For rotor currents to be induced, the speed of the

physical rotor must be lower than that of the stator's rotating magnetic field (n_s), otherwise the

magnetic field would not be moving relative to the rotor conductors and no currents would be

induced. As the speed of the rotor drops below synchronous speed, the rotation rate of the magnetic

field in the rotor increases, inducing more current in the windings and creating more torque. The

ratio between the rotation rate of the magnetic field induced in the rotor and the rotation rate of the

stator's rotating field is called slip. Under load, the speed drops and the slip increases enough to

create sufficient torque to turn the load. For this reason, induction motors are sometimes referred to

as asynchronous motors. An induction motor can be used as an induction generator, or it can be

unrolled to form a linear induction motor which can directly generate linear motion.

4.8.2 Synchronous speed

An AC motor's synchronous speed, , is the rotation rate of the stator's magnetic field,

which is expressed in revolutions per minute as

(RPM),

where is the motor supply's frequency in hertz and is the number of magnetic poles. That is, for

a six-pole three-phase motor with three pole-pairs set 120° apart, equals 6 and equals 1,000

RPM and 1,200 RPM respectively for 50 Hz and 60 Hz supply systems.

direction of the magnetic field created will be such as to oppose the change in current through the

rotor windings. The cause of induced current in the rotor windings is the rotating stator magnetic

field, so to oppose the change in rotor-winding currents the rotor will start to rotate in the direction

of the rotating stator magnetic field.

The rotor accelerates until the magnitude of induced rotor current and torque balances the

applied load. Since rotation at synchronous speed would result in no induced rotor current, an

induction motor always operates slower than synchronous speed. The difference, or "slip," between

4.8.3 Slip

Slip, S, is defined as the difference between synchronous speed and operating speed, at the

same frequency, expressed in rpm or in percent or ratio of synchronous speed.

where n Ns is stator electrical speed, n_Nr is rotor mechanical speed. Slip, which varies from zero

at synchronous speed and 1 when the rotor is at rest, determines the motor's torque. Since the short-

circuited rotor windings have small resistance, a small slip induces a large current in the rotor and

produces large torque. At full rated load, slip varies from more than 5% for small or special

purpose motors to less than 1% for large motors. These speed variations can cause load-sharing

problems when differently sized motors are mechanically connected. Various methods are available

to reduce slip, VFDs often offering the best solution.

4.8.4 Construction

The stator of an induction motor consists of poles carrying supply current to induce a

magnetic field that penetrates the rotor. To optimize the distribution of the magnetic field, the

windings are distributed in slots around the stator, with the magnetic field having the same number

of north and south poles. Induction motors are most commonly run on single-phase or three-phase

power, but two-phase motors exist; in theory, induction motors can have any number of phases.

Many single-phase motors having two windings can be viewed as two-phase motors, since a

capacitor is used to generate a second power phase 90° from the single-phase supply and feeds it to

the second motor winding. Single-phase motors require some mechanism to produce a rotating field

on startup. Cage induction motor rotor's conductor bars are typically skewed to reduce noise.

4.8.5 Rotation reversal

The method of changing the direction of rotation of an induction motor depends on whether

it is a three-phase or single-phase machine. In the case of three phase, reversal is carried out by

swapping connection of any two phase conductors. In the case of a single-phase motor it is usually

achieved by changing the connection of a starting capacitor from one section of a motor winding to

the other. In this latter case both motor windings are similar (e.g. in washing machines).

4.8.6 Power factor

The power factor of induction motors varies with load, typically from around 0.85 or 0.90 at

full load to as low as 0.35 at no-load, due to stator and rotor leakage and magnetizing reactances.

Power factor can be improved by connecting capacitors either on an individual motor basis or, by

preference, on a common bus covering several motors. For economic and other considerations

power systems are rarely power factor corrected to unity power factor.[36] Power capacitor

application with harmonic currents requires power system analysis to avoid harmonic resonance

between capacitors and transformer and circuit reactances. Common bus power factor correction is

recommended to minimize resonant risk and to simplify power system analysis.

4.8.7 Efficiency

Full load motor efficiency varies from about 85 % to 97 %, related motor losses being broken down

roughly as follows:

Friction and windage, 5 % – 15 %

Iron or core losses, 15 % – 25 %

Stator losses, 25 % – 40 %

Rotor losses, 15 % – 25 %

Stray load losses, 10 % – 20 %

Various regulatory authorities in many countries have introduced and implemented legislation to

encourage the manufacture and use of higher efficiency electric motors. There is existing and

forthcoming legislation regarding the future mandatory use of premium-efficiency induction-type

motors in defined equipment.

4.9 CIRCUIT DIAGRAM

A full wave bridge rectifier converts single phase or three phase 50 Hz power from standardutility supply to either fixed or adjustable Dc voltage. Diode Bridge Rectifier One diagonal pair ofrectifier will allow power to pass through only when the voltage is positive. A second diagonal pairof rectifier will allow power to pass through only when the voltage is negative. So two diagnal pairof rectifiers are required for each phase of power.

Electric swithes-power transistor or thyristor switch the rectified DC on and off, and aproduce a current or voltage waveform at the desired new frequency. The final section of the VFDis referred to as an “inverter.” The inverter contains transistors that deliver power to the motor. The(MOSFET) is a common choice in modern VFDs.

The MOSFET can switch on and off several thousand times per second and precisely control thepower delivered to the motor. The IGBT uses a method named “pulse width modulation” (PWM) tosimulate a current sine wave at the desired frequency to the motor.

Motor speed (rpm) is dependent upon frequency. Varying the frequency output of the VFD controlsmotor speed: Speed (rpm) = frequency (hertz) x 120 / no. of poles.

An electronic circuit receives a feedback information from the driven motor and adjusts the outputvoltage or frequency to the selected values. Usually the output voltage is regulated to produce aconstant ratio of voltage to frequency (V/Hz). Controllers may incorporate many complex controlfunctions.

Page 68: TORQUE AND SPEED CONTROL OF SINGLE PHASE INDUCTION MOTOR USING VARIABLE FREQUENCY DRIVES (VFD)

56

Converting DC to variable frequency AC is accomplished using an inverter. Most currentlyavailable inverters use pulse width modulation (PWM) because the output current waveformclosely approximates a sine wave. Power semiconductors switch DC voltage at high speed,producing a series of short-duration pulses of constant amplitude. Output voltage is varied bychanging the width and polarity of the switched pulses. Output frequency is adjusted by changingthe switching cycle time by using microcontroller.

RESULT AND CONCLUSION

5.1 RESULT

Thus, we can conveniently adjust the speed of a motor by changing the frequency applied to the

motor and keeping the number of poles constant. There is another way to change the speed of

the motor by changing the no. of poles, but this change would be a physical change to the

motor. As the drive provides the frequency and voltage of output necessary to change the speed

of a motor, this is done through Pulse Width Modulation Drives. Pulse width modulation

(PWM) inverter produces pulses of varying widths which are combined to build the required

waveform. As the frequency is variable as compared with the poles of the motor therefore

speed control drive is termed as Variable Frequency Drive (VFD).

All Variable Frequency Drives maintain the output voltage – to – frequency (V/f) ratio constant

at all speeds for the reason that follows. The phase voltage V, frequency f and the magnetic flux

Φ of the motor are related by the equation: V = 4.444 f NΦm

Or V/f = 4.444NΦm

where N = number of stator turns per phase. Φm = magnetic flux

5.2 CONCLUSION

Changing the electrical frequency of the supply voltage using the VFD will change the rotor

speed of the motor. Changing the electrical frequency will also require an adjustment to the

terminal voltage in order to maintain the amount of flux level in the motor core else the motor

will experience core saturation and excessive magnetization current. Thus after the study of

Variable Frequency Drive, it becomes possible to control the speed of electric motor as well as

to conserve the electrical energy, as it is known that energy conservation has become an

important subject all over the world. Increase in efficient energy use, decrease in energy

consumption from conventional energy sources has increased which leads to conservation of

energy.
