MFG 1345 - Electronic Variable Speed Drive


Credits: 3

The flow of product in the manufacturing process can be as simple as an on/off motor control switch or as complex as a variable speed drive that incorporates a feedback system. Most large and small companies utilize the more technologically advanced systems, hence they incorporate one or more variable-speed drive(s) in their production process. Electronic Variable-Speed Drive Systems will introduce the student to alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC) drive fundamentals, switching amplifier field current controllers, silicon- controlled rectifier (SCR) armature voltage controllers, brushless DC motor controllers, chopper circuits, voltage inverters, and flux vector drives.
