How to Control a Motor Control Using Pulses How to control a motor Control Using Pulses Electric Motor The first direct current electric motor was invented by William Sturgeon in 1832.This breakthrough followed by subsequent advances in the field , facilitated improvements in industrial processes by improving the efficiency of mechanized systems . Direct Current electric motors are based on the principles of electromagnetic induction and are typically comprised of six major components . An Armature, a Commutator , Brushes, an axle, a field magnet and a power supply. The commutator is a single metallic ring that is split into two. It allows the current to flow into the armature. The field magnet is fixed in place and is sometimes called a stator. The armature is the moving coil at the center of the motor that rotates on the axle .The armature becomes an electromagnet when current is flowing through it .This current carrying wire experiences a force which is given by Flemings left hand rule. This force causes the armature to rotate around the axle. The commutator effectively reverses the direction of the current and hence the force on the armature and allows it to keep spinning . Figure 1.1 Simple DC Motor DC Motor Control using Pulses By increasing or decreasing the width of pulses we can control the average voltage across the load. By switching voltage to the load , the output will approximate a voltage at the desired level. The following block diagram shows the system that we will implement to control the motor. Figure 1.2 Speed Controller Block Diagram The PWM block shown above can be implemented with the use of a Micro-Controller such as the MSP430 from Texas Instruments. Analogue Electronics can also be used to generate a PWM pulse to control the switching of the motor. Building MOSFET Bridge Fig 1.3 Simple Motor Controller When pulses are connected, Q1 turns on and off and we can control the average voltage . La is added to the model to represent that the motor is an inductive load . Though this circuit will function correctly as a motor controller we can add improvements to aid with efficiency. We will add three more transistor .The resulting structure is called an H bridge. Full Implementation The above figure shows a schematic of the Motor control system . We combine the bridge system implemented earlier with a current protection system . The U1A Op- Amp amplifies the voltage drop across the sense resistor .The output of the UA1 amplifier is fed to a comparator with a reference voltage V5 .If the current high. The LM324 comparator will “Turn ON” and clamp the PWM signal causing both transistor to turn off thus preventing any damage.

Norman Lockyer. Depending on the commutator design, this may include the brushes shorting together adjacent sections—and hence coil ends—momentarily while crossing the gaps. The rotor is supported by bearings , which allow the rotor to turn on its axis. Also known as stepper motors, they turn their shaft in small increments steps. The current flowing in the winding is producing the fields and for a motor using a magnetic material the field is not linearly proportional to the current. For a railroad engine, see Electric locomotive. As no electricity distribution system was available at the time, no practical commercial market emerged for these motors. From this, he showed that the most efficient motors are likely to have relatively large magnetic poles. This makes them useful for appliances such as blenders, vacuum cleaners, and hair dryers where high speed and light weight are desirable. For other kinds of motors, see Motor disambiguation. Archived from the original on 6 March Thus, every brushed DC motor has AC flowing through its rotating windings. Motor Frame Size. But because there is no metal mass in the rotor to act as a heat sink, even small coreless motors must often be cooled by forced air. The current density per unit area of the brushes, in combination with their resistivity , limits the output of the motor. The distance between the rotor and stator is called the air gap.

  • A Three-Phase, Four-Pole Brushless Motor
    A Three-Phase, Four-Pole Brushless Motor Alex Chang, Drew Schleck & Raphaël Townshend 1 Abstract In this project, an electric motor was designed, built, and tested. The main goal of this three-phase, four-pole motor was to achieve a high rotational speed. Electromagnets were operated by direct current and were turned on and off via Hall chips. The magnetic forces created by the electromagnets acted on the four magnets and forced the inner rod, to which these four magnets were attached, to spin. The highest measured rotational speed was approximately 1800 rpm, the highest rotational torque was measured to be 0.0078 N ∙ m, and the efficiency of the motor was found to range from 7.08% to 0.37%. 2 Motivation and History The goal of this project was to illustrate and understand the concepts of an electric motor by building a simple one. An electric motor is a device that converts electric energy into mechanical energy. The first attempt to build an electric motor was performed by Sir Humphry Davy and William Hyde Wollaston at the Royal Institution in London in 1821 [1][2]. Though they were unsuccessful, they discussed their points of difficulty with the British chemist and physicist Michael Faraday [1]. In that same year, Faraday went on to build two devices demonstrating electromagnetic rotation, the more notable being the first homopolar motor [1][2][3][4]. This paper was written for Dr. James Dann’s Applied Science Research class in the fall of 2009. 50 Alex Chang et al. Figure 1: Faraday’s homopolar motor For this motor, Faraday suspended wires into two cups of mercury with permanent magnets protruding out of each cup (See Figure 1).

  • Doubly-Salient Permanent Magnet Flux-Reversal-Free-Stator Switched Reluctance Machines
    Doubly-Salient Permanent Magnet Flux-Reversal-Free-Stator Switched Reluctance Machines Nimal Savio Lobo Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institue and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Electrical Engineering Dr. Krishnan Ramu, Chair Dr. Douglas Lindner Dr. Daniel Stilwell Dr. Tamal Bose Dr. Carl Prather January 21, 2011 Blacksburg, VA Keywords: Switched reluctance motor, Doubly salient permanent magnet motor Copyright 2011, Nimal Lobo Doubly Salient Permanent Magnet Switched Reluctance Machines Nimal Savio Lobo ABSTRACT A new hybrid machine having variable reluctance and permanent magnets (PMs) is presented. The machine makes use of the features of a PM machine and variable reluctance machine. The resulting machine is doubly salient and has a structure free of flux reversals. Unlike conventional doubly salient permanent magnet machines (DSPMs), the one proposed in this report is driven by unipolar currents and uses an asymmetric converter which is used to drive switched reluctance machines. The reason to have a new hybrid machine without the drawbacks of conventional flux- reversal-free-stator SRMs and conventional DSPMs is also described. Conventional doubly salient permanent magnet machines which are driven by alternating cur- rents, do not use reluctance torque and have flux reversals in the stator iron. Homopolar flux at the peak flux density lowers hysteresis and eddy-current loss, since the machine`s core operates in only one magnetizing quadrant. Due to unbalanced forces in conventional stator-flux-reversal-free ma- chines, their deployment in industrial and end-user applications has been hindered. The presented hybrid machine has balanced radial forces.

  • Telegraph Reports Topic Guide for Chronicling America (
    Telegraph Reports Topic Guide for Chronicling America (http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov) Introduction The telegraph, a communication system using wires to transmit electric signals that can be translated into messages, was invented in the early 19th century using electromagnetic technology. Samuel Morse, creator of Morse Code, was the first to show that messages could be sent by this system in 1835. The United States Congress began investing in telegraph lines in the 1840s, and until 1877, when the telephone was invented, all long distance rapid communication used through this system. Newspapers relied on telegraph reports to provide up-to-the minute state, regional, national and international news to their readers. Important Dates . 1825: Englishman William Sturgeon invents the electromagnet. 1830: American Joseph Henry uses electromagnet for long distance communication by causing a bell over a mile away to strike using an electronic current. 1835: Samuel Morse demonstrates that messages can be transmitted by wire and develops Morse Code, a series of dots and dashes that stand for individual letters that are printed on paper by a marker moved by an electric current. 1843: Congress provides $30,000 to make a telegraph line from Washington, D.C., to Baltimore, MD. May 24, 1844: The telegraph line officially opens with the first message: “What hath God wrought.” . 1851: Western Union is established and trains begin to be dispatched by telegraph. 1861: Western Union builds the first transcontinental telegraph line which connected Washington, DC to San Francisco, California. The Pony Express closed two days later. 1866: The first permanent transatlantic telegraph line is completed, connecting the U.S.

  • Daily Skill Builders: Word Problems
    About the Author As the oldest daughter of the late California plein-air watercolorist and art instructor Charles F. Keck, Linda Armstrong grew up immersed in drawing, painting, and crafts. She met her hus- band, Alden, in a painting class in college. Both of them went on to teach elementary school in Los Angeles. There was no formal art program for elementary students at that time, so Alden and Linda worked together to develop their own lessons. Their favorites used simple materials and incorporated elements of art history, math, social studies, and science, as well as color theory, textural exploration, rhythm, repetition, and expressive line. Linda and Alden now live in Grand Junction, Colorado. Linda has taught drawing and painting at the Western Colorado Center for the Arts. She has written, edited, or adapted more than forty book titles for children and teachers in various subjects. Other Mark Twain Media, Inc., titles by Linda Armstrong include Everyday Art for the Classroom Teacher, Jumpstarters for U.S. History, Jumpstarters for Writing, Jumpstarters for Science Vocabulary, and Daily Skill Builders: Word Problems.
