Working Principle and Fault Analysis:

1. Close QF1 and QF2 to conduct the power supply. Press the jog button SB2. The AC contactor KM coil gets electricity. The main contact closes and the auxiliary contact closes to conduct the power supply. The KM self-locking three-phase asynchronous motor starts to run.

2. Release the SB1 button. The AC contactor coil loses electricity. The main contact resets and disconnects the power supply. The three-phase asynchronous motor stops running.

3. Fault analysis: If the AC contactor does not pull in when the SB2 button is pressed, first check whether the power supply of QF2 is normal (if the voltage is abnormal, the cause of the power supply needs to be found). Use a multimeter to measure whether the voltage is 220V. If the voltage is normal, check the normally closed point of the SB1 button. Press SB2 to see if the normally open point is closed. (If the SB1 and SB2 buttons are not closed, they need to be replaced). If it is normal, check the AC contactor KM coil and use a multimeter to measure whether there is resistance. (If there is no resistance during the measurement, it indicates that the AC contactor coil is damaged and the AC contactor needs to be replaced).

4. If the AC contactor pulls in but the motor does not run, it is necessary to check whether the power supply of QF1 is normal. (If the voltage is abnormal, the cause of the power supply needs to be found). If the power supply of QF1 is normal, check whether the main contacts L1 -T1, L2-T2, and L3-T3 of the AC contactor are conducting. (If any one of the main contacts does not conduct in the closed state, it indicates that the main contact of the AC contactor is broken and needs to be replaced.)

5. If the AC contactor acts but does not self-lock when the SB2 button is pressed, check the self-locking wire. If there is no problem with the self-locking wire, check whether the auxiliary contact 13N0-14N0 conducts when the main contact is closed.

Compound Wound Generator
Compound Wound Generator
Compound Wound Generator FundamentalsA compound wound generator features two field windings per pole: one series-connected with few turns of thick wire, and the other shunt-connected with many turns of fine wire parallel to the armature windings.In essence, a compound generator integrates both shunt and series field windings. It is classified as:Cumulative compounded: Series winding flux reinforces shunt winding flux.Differentially compounded: Series winding flux opposes shunt winding flux.Two c

Dynamic Braking Principles in DC MotorsIn dynamic braking, a braking resistor Rbis connected across the armature immediately after disconnecting the DC motor from the supply. The motor then functions as a generator, producing braking torque.Dynamic Braking ConfigurationsTwo connection methods enable braking operation:Separately Excited/Shunt Motor as a Separately Excited Generator:Flux is maintained constant for consistent braking performance.Self-Excited Shunt Generator:Field winding is connect

Working Principle of a Synchronous Motor
Working Principle of a Synchronous Motor
Structure and Excitation of Synchronous MotorsThe synchronous motor consists of two primary components: the stator (stationary part) and the rotor (rotating part). The stator is energized by a three-phase AC supply, while the rotor is excited by a DC supply.Excitation Principle:Excitation refers to the process of inducing magnetic fields in both the stator and rotor, transforming them into electromagnets. This magnetic coupling is essential for converting electrical energy into mechanical rotati

Synchronous Impedance Method
Synchronous Impedance Method
The Synchronous Impedance Method, also known as the EMF Method, replaces the impact of armature reaction with an equivalent imaginary reactance. To calculate voltage regulation using this method, the following data are required: armature resistance per phase, the Open-Circuit Characteristic (OCC) curve depicting the relationship between open-circuit voltage and field current, and the Short-Circuit Characteristic (SCC) curve showing the relationship between short-circuit current and field current
