Studying the Effect of Starting System in DC Motors Operating in Periodic Systems on Electric Power Losses


Abstract in English

The consumption of power in the industrial field almost reaches approximately 40% of the total generated power. One kind of useless consumption of power is the losses in the electrical motors starting. The impact of the losing power might be ignored in the continuous and short time working systems. However, in case of periodic starting up, the losing ratio will be exaggerated. Also, the controlling of starting up process will be considerable and can keep the losses at lowest levels. In this paper, the effect of using the Semi-conductors controlling system in DC motors on power losses was studied and compared with control system using resistors starting in periodic short time systems. The obtained results show that there is a relationship between the power saving in KWh per year as a function of the rated motor power and the number of starting up per Hour. Due to conveying from conventional controlling system to modern control system uses semiconductor rectifier.
