DC Series Motor
High starting torque capability of the DC Series motor
makes it a suitable option for traction application.
It was the most widely used motor for traction
application in the early 1900s.
The advantages of this motor are easy speed control and
it can also withstand a sudden increase in load.
All these characteristics make it an ideal traction motor.
The main drawback of DC series motor is high
maintenance due to brushes and commutators.
These motors are used in Indian railways. This motor
comes under the category of DC brushed motors.
DC machines are used in hybrid and electric vehicle technology because
of variable torque-speed control and wide range of operation.
DC machines provide ease of control but
they need commutator and brush maintenance,
efficiency is low and also power to weight ratio is low.
The induction machines also belong to the rotor and commutator less topology
Induction machines are extensively
used as a propulsion machine in hybrid and electric vehicles
applications.
Tesla Model (2012),
Honda Fit EV (2012),
Toyota RAV4 EV (2012),
Renault/Kangoo(1998),
BMW/X5 (Germany), Chevrolet (USA),Durango (USA), etc.
due to the simplicity, ruggedness, cheapness, low maintenance
cost, high dynamic performance, and availability of enough
starting torque and ability of acceleration, induction motor of
squirrel-cage type is used as a propulsion motor in series HEVs.
In short, electric machine has to operate under the different driving cycles, varying
ambient temperatures, varying pay loads and varying operating temperatures
conditions in comparison to the industrial operation of an electric machine.
In traction applications, electric machine has to be operate in
different driving cycles. It may consists on number of frequent starts
and stops, acceleration and de-acceleration and cruising and low
speed intervals.
The electric machine has also supposed to be function under
different ambient (surrounding) temperatures throughout the year
square wave
inverter
a controlled rectifier can be used to vary the dc link voltage, while a square wave inverter
can be used to change the frequency
If the input supply is ac, then a variable dc is obtained by
connecting a controlled rectifier between the input ac and the
inverter as shown
