Recap

In the last class you have learnt about

• Rheostatic Braking of D.C. Shunt Motor

• Rheostatic Braking of D.C. Series Motor

9EE605A.35 1
 Objectives

On completion of this period, you would be able to know

about.

• Regenerative Braking of D.C. Shunt & Series Motors

• Regenerative Braking of 3 phase Induction Motor

9EE605A.35 2
 Regenerative Braking

• Used when load has over handing characteristic

• Regeneration takes place when Eb in the armature,

greater than applied voltage.

• Motor run as Generator

• Speed falls until Eb = V

• Mechanical brakes are applied

9EE605A.35 3
 Advantages

• Motor draws no energy from supply

• Energy is fed back to supply

• Speed can be controlled

9EE605A.35 4
 Disadvantages

• Possible in only drives carrying overhauling loads.

• Requires additional equipment

9EE605A.35 5
 Applications
• Separately excited d.c motors

• D.C Series motor

• D.C Shunt motor

• D.C Compound motor

• Induction motors

Fig 1

9EE605A.35 7
 Regenerative Braking of D.C Series Motor

• When the motor is driving

a overhauling load

• The speed of the motor

increases

• The back e.m.f is also

increases

• The direction of armature

current is reversed

9EE605A.35 8
Regenerative Braking of D.C Series Motor

• Special arrangements are made

to reverse field winding
connections.

• The motor acts as generator

and supplies energy.

• This will reduce the speed

• The motor comes to normal

operation

Regenerative Braking of D.C Series Motor

9EE605A.35 10
 Regenerative Braking of D.C Series Motor

• Regenerative braking is an
inherant characteristics of
shunt motor
• When the motor is driving a
overhauling load the speed
of the motor increases
• The back e.m.f Exceeds
(Eb>V) the supply voltage
• The motor acts as generator
and energy will be fed into
the supply system.

9EE605A.35 11
 Regenerative Braking of D.C Series Motor

• The machine will start

supplying current to the
line
• The direction of armature
current Ia and the torque
is reversed
• This will reduce the
speed until Eb < V
• The motor comes to rest

9EE605A.35 12
 Regenerative Braking of 3-ф Induction
Motor
• When the motor is driving a overhauling load

• The speed of the motor increases

• The motor acts as induction generator and supplies energy

• This will reduce the speed

• The motor comes to normal operation

9EE605A.35 13
 Methods Used to Operate Induction Motor
Above Synchronous Speed
• By using Frequency controlled induction motors

• During Downward motion of a loaded hoisting

mechanism.

• Change over to a large number of poles from a smaller

one in multi-speed squirrel cage induction motor.

Torque-Slip Characteristics

9EE605A.35 15
Regenerating Braking of 3 Phase Introduction Motor

• In above all cases, the slip and torque developed

become negative
• The machine acts as a generator
• If the load drives the motor above synchronous speed
• No switching operation is required
• The braking operation starts and motor comes to normal
position
