What is LCI drive & how does it work & why it is used?
Answer / raghavendran.r
An LCI drive using SCRs does not need extra forced turn-off and does not use PWM to vary the frequency. It uses SCRs on the front-end to covert the incoming AC to variable voltage DC, then uses multiple SCRs on the back end to fire into the motor at a varying frequency, but relies upon the motor's rotation itself to make the current passing through the SCRs to cross through zero and turn off (hence the term "Load Commutated"). This is done through very complex firing schemes that require a relatively high powered computer to accomplish. That's why you will not see LCI drives on small motors; the cost is prohibitive and LCI drives cannot compete with PWM where PWM is effective and reliable. But on very large synchronous motors the transistor technology becomes a quantum leap more expensive and highly susceptible to damage, so LCI drives start to make sense again.

How will A Medium voltage circuit breaker(11 kV voltage level) operate under short circuit fault condition whether It is having short circuit release like Low voltage circuit breaker or relay should be given?
Good day everyone,currently in our premise we using 30kw slip ring motor with resistance bank which we use as forward and reverse at conveyor bar handling. So,my question is how do we calculate the resistance bank which is suit the motor. Kindly,assist me... thank you
APPLICATIONS OF SHUNT GENERATOR
my question is that....few days ago i had installed a three phase motor starter for an electric saw.the motor will run and make the hydraulic pressure which will be goes to pressure cylender by up and down lever.two number of limitswitches are also installed on cylinder for safety of motor.now when the arm of cylinder reaches to the upper or lower limit it will cut the motor's line.and motor will be stop.now wana know that what will i do that motor runs continue after the limitswitch cut it down but it shold not be made any pressure.pls answer me in brief.
