Speed control slip-ring induction motors

This is a vital relationship, which reveals that during start-up and until such speed, the reactance of the motor windings / 2> the rotor current will also remain almost the same as the starting current and will fall only at near the rated speed. (Refer to the current curves in Figures 1.5(a) and (b)). The initial inrush current in a squirrel cage induction motor is very high. In a slip-ring motor, however, it can be controlled to a desired level. (Refer to Section 5.2.1.)... 

This is a very useful nomogram to determine the performance of a motor with the help of only no-load and short-circuit test results. In slip-ring motors, it also helps to determine the external resistance required in the rotor circuit to control the speed of the motor and achieve the desired operating performance. Slip-ring motors are discussed in Chapter 5. The concept behind this nomogram is that the locus of the rotor and the stator currents is a circle. Consider the equivalent circuit of an induction motor as shown in Figure 1.15, where... 

The hoist drive solution presented in this work, which is based on the Ingedrive MVlOO medium voltage AG frequency converters, contains two completely independent Active Front End Rectifier and Inverter sets under the well-known AC-DC-AC topology. The entire drive system solution allows the operation at full speed and full load (then full hoist performance, with no limitation) even in the case that one frequency converter (AG-DC-AC set) is unavailable. The solution presents some extra benefits comparing to the original hoist system solution that was based on two slip ring rotor wound induction motors in which the speed control...
