Series motor

Direct-current motors are classified as separately excited motors, series motors, shunt motors, and compound motors. The field winding of a separately excited motor is in a circuit that is energized by a separate dc source the field winding is not physically connected to the armature circuit (containing the armature winding). 

To implement a motor controller, a servo-amplifier is required to convert signal level power (volts at milliamps) to motor power (volts at amps). Typically, a design requirement for series, shunt, and brushless motor drives is to control torque and speed, and hence, power. Voltage control can often be used to control speed for both shunt and series motors. Series motors require feedback to achieve accurate control. 

In ER mode at lower speeds, the so-called one-motor series ER mode is used clutches Cl and C3 are closed, while clutch C2 is open (see Figure 8.11). The generator driven by the ICE is generating electric power for the traction motor, the ARM, the electric air-conditioning system and for sustaining the battery SOC. Using the series-drive... 

Measurement of octane numbers is carried out using a reference motor called CFR (Cooperative Fuel Research), referring to a series of studies conducted in 1928 in the United States in order to standardize the methods for characterizing motor fuels.

Research for an antidepressant among non-tricyclic compounds with pharmacological effects qualitatively different from those of the conventional tricyclic compounds led to the preparation and testing of a series of indazole derivatives for reserpine-like activity in mice. l-[3-(Dimethylamino)propyl]-5-methyl-3-phenyl-l//-indazole (FS-32 692) antagonizes reserpine-induced effects and potentiates amphetamine-induced self-stimulation and l-Dopa-induced increase in motor activity. FS-32 produces an anticholinergic action mainly on the central nervous System, while the action of imipramine occurs centrally as well as peripherally (79AF511). 

In the search for new structures with antiinflammatory activities some 1-substituted 3-dimethylaminoalkoxy-lJ/-indazoles (704) have been synthesized and pharmacologically tested (66JMC38). Doses of 20-40 mg g i.p. produced sedation, muscle relaxation and motor incoordination, whereas doses of 80-100 mg kg produced depression. Toxicity was fairly constant in all series, varying from 120 to 150 mg kg i.p., with the exception of compounds possessing a nitro group or an amino group in the indazole nucleus, which provoked cyanosis. 

Motor-driven reciprocating compressors above about 75 kW (100 hp) in size are usually equipped with a step control. This is in reality a variation of constant-speed control in which unloading is accomplished in a series of steps, varying from full load down to no load. Three-step eontrol (full load, one-half load, and no load) is usually accomplished with inlet-valve unloaders. Five-step eontrol (fuU load, three-fourths load, one-half load, one-fourth load, and no load) is accomphshed by means of clearance pockets (see Fig. 10-91). On some machines, inlet-valve and clearance-control unloading are used in combination. 

Hard rubber is one of the few combustible materials which is generally ground on heavy steam-heated rollers. The raw material passes to a series of rolls in closed circuit with screens and air classifiers. Farrel-Birmingham rolls are used extensively for this work. There is a differential in the roll diameters. The motor should be separated from the grinder by a fire wall. 

Compound-wound dc motors have both series and shunt fields. The addition of a small series field helps provide the proper amount of no-load to fuU-load speed regulation or droop. Shunt or compound-wound motors are apphed widely to many adjustable-speed drives. They are important for drives requiring accurate speed regulation and adjustment. 

A dc motors inherent speed-torque curve can be varied widely by adjusting the relative amounts of shunt and series fields. The series field may also be connected to aid or buck the shunt field. The usual practice is to connect the series field so that it adds to the shunt field (cumulative compound), which gives a stable, drooping speed with increasing load. 

Manual rheostats can be used in series with the motor armature for the current-limiting func tion. If the rheostat has ample thermal capacity, it can also Be usedto vaiy speed. If this system is used, interlocks should be included to prevent closing of the contactor unless maximum resistance is in the circuit. 

These are series motors and are relatively compact and lightweight compared to an a.c. motor. The use of such motors is therefore common for hand tools and home appliances and also for such applications that require a high speed (above 3200 r.p.m.) which is not possible in an a.c. machine. Likely applications are polishers, grinders and mixers. This motor runs equally well on both a.c. and d.c. sources of supply.

The preferred ratings for motors above 110 000 kW, must follow the Renard Series , R-20, according to ISO 3, as shown in Table 1.1 (a). 

To fulfil the above requirements the material inputs for the motor, such as stampings, steel, enamelled copper wire, insulations and varnishes, bearings, enclosure materials and hardware must be subjected to a series of acceptance tests according to norms and standard specifications. For example, enamelled copper wire used... 

Such relays are in the form of a small tube inside which is a loosely fitted rotatable shaft, held by a very thin film of this alloy. The alloy senses the motor temperature through a heater connected in series with the motor terminals and surrounding this tube. When the motor current exceeds the predetermined value, the alloy melts and enables the shaft to rotate and actuate the lever of the tripping mechanism. 

If a large induction motor is switched on such a system it is possible that its rotor may lock up at the sub-synchronous speed and keep running at higher slips. This situation is also undesirable, as it would cause higher slip losses in addition to higher stator current and overvoltage across the series capacitors. 

The power train consists of an HP and LP expander arranged in series that drives the motor/generator, which in this mode is declutched from the compressor train and is connected by clutch to the HP and LP expander train. The HP expander receives air from the cavern that is regeneratively heated in a recuperator utilizing exhaust gas from the LP expander, and then further combusted in combustors before entering the HP expander. The...
