Semester-VII

Course Description:

This course provides a brief introduction to different industrial derives, load characteristic,
factor effecting on selection of drives depending upon their electrical, mechanical
characteristic. The subject also provides the knowledge of microprocessor based electric
drives.

General Objective:

The objective of the course is to provide different types of drives and applications in various industries. To know the characteristics of various motors and loads. Gain the knowledge about operation of DC motor speed control using converters and choppers. To understand the modes of operation of a drive in various applications. To enable the students identify the need and choice for various drives. To acquire the knowledge of different speed control methods in AC motors using thyristors based control schemes. Identify the use of drives in industries using microprocessor.
