8. SPEED CONTROL OF THREE PHASE WOUND INDUCTION MOTOR
BY STATIC ROTOR RESISTANCE CONTROL
Aim: To control speed of three phase wound rotor induction motor.
Apparatus: Chopper module, tachometer, three phase auto
transformer, three phase wound rotor induction motor,
connecting wires, etc.
THEORY: In simpler terms, this system changes the rotor voltage in a
motor to a steady flow of power (direct current) using a diode bridge.
A device called a chopper then takes this fixed power and transforms
it into variable power, using special electronic components.
For slip-ring induction motors, you can change how forcefully the
motor works by adding adjustable resistance to the rotor circuit. This
also affects how the motor starts and the initial power it uses.
The chopper control method is more user-friendly. Picture the
chopper and rotor circuit as a knob that adjusts the motor's power.
When the IGBT (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor) is off, the motor
goes slower with a connected resistance. When the IGBT is on, it's
like a shortcut for the rotor, making the motor go faster. By
controlling how long the IGBT is on (duty ratio), you can manage the
resistance in the rotor circuit, and the slowest speed happens when
the IGBT is on for the longest time.

PROCEDURE:
Note: Three phase auto transformer is compulsory for this
experiment. Sudden switching the circuit by applying 415V AC will
results in large rotor current (upto several amps) may leads damage
to IGBT. I By varying Rheostate connected to rotor circuit.
1. The power circuit is configured with a three-phase transformer
linked to a wound rotor induction motor, incorporating an
autotransformer. The output of the autotransformer connects to
the respective stator terminals (R, Y, B) of the three-phase motor.
The rotor terminals of the motor link to the three-phase input of
the control power circuit, which features a diode rectifier and a
load resistance.
2. Connect the rheostat to the 100Ω/2 A load for proper circuit
configuration.
3. Ensure ammeter and voltmeter are correctly connected.
4. Verify all connections to confirm their accuracy before turning on
the equipment.
5. Set the rheostat to its minimum resistance, either short or at
approximately 10Ω.
6. Ensure the pulse release is in the off position.
