Factors Influencing the Choice of Electrical Drives

Factor Influencing the Choice of Electrical Drives.png

Choice of electrical drives means choosing the type of electrical drive that is suitable for the load or the system. It depends on the following factors:-

  • Steady-state operation requirements: Nature of speed-torque characteristics, speed regulation, speed range, efficiency, duty cycle, quadrants of operation, speed fluctuations if any, ratings.
  • Transient operation requirements: Values of acceleration and deceleration, starting, braking, and reversing performance.
  • Requirements are related to the source: Type of source, and its capacity, magnitude of voltage, voltage fluctuations, power factor, harmonics and their effect on other loads, ability to accept regenerated power.
  • Capital and running cost, maintenance needs, life.
  • Space and weight restrictions if any.
  • Environment and location.
  • Reliability.
