1295739 Control of DC motors GENERAL ELECTRIC CO 7 July 1970 [7 Aug 1969] 32806/70 Heading H2J A control system intended for controlling a D.C. motor in a crane hoist drive in which the motor is operated in its regenerative mode with its direction of rotation reversed to control the speed of lowering of the crane load includes controlled rectifiers supplying energy to the motor from an A.C. source. These rectifiers may comprise S.C.R.'s, ignitrons or thyratrons and protective circuits are provided responsive to critical conditions of the system to protect the rectifiers from failure when the system enters a coasting mode of operation. As shown in the block diagram of Fig. 1 an A.C. source 10 supplies energy to the drive motor 14 through a power amplifier 12 comprising controlled rectifiers 16, 18. The rectifiers 16, 18 are controlled by a command source 28 which determines the direction of rotation of the motor by operation of the appropriate rectifier. The source 28 also supplies a modulated signal to the junction 30 for controlling the motor speed, the desired speed being compared at the junction with the actual speed on a line 33 connected to a feedback signal source 22. The command signal to drive the motor in the required direction at the desired speed is generated in a preamp and power supply 36, this signal being applied to a forward direction amplifier 38 or reverse direction amplifier 40 which provide, respectively, firing signals for the. rectifier 16 or rectifier 18 through protective circuits 48 and firing control circuits 46. The command source 50 may also supply an "emergency stop" signal on a line 50. The protective circuits 48 function to protect the rectifiers 16, 18 by automatically retarding the occurrence of firing signals for the rectifiers when the coasting mode of operation is required. The coasting mode is entered automatically when an overcurrent condition is sensed by current transformers 52, 54 connected to lines 56, 58 constituting current feed-back circuits, and is also entered when an emergency stop signal is applied on line 50. The protective circuits also include means responsive to the level of current in lines 56, 58 to positively prevent elimination of the firing signals by a lockout circuit until the current flow between the A.C. supply 10 and motor 14 is below a preselected level. Once the circuits have retarded the firing of the rectifiers 16, 18 while allowing the current flow to decrease below the preselected level the firing signals are positively locked out so that the motor coasts to a stop and the drive system must be restarted before motor rotation can be resumed. The firing signals are retarded to occur at a position after the voltage on the controlled rectifier has crossed the zero axis and preferably the position is selected corresponding to a phase angle of 30 degrees occurring after the voltage has crossed that axis. Details of the control circuitry are described with reference to Fig. 4 (not shown). |
