What is ac and dc drive.
Answer / thowsif_csm team_emerson
DC Drives:-
Commonly a DC drive is a device that uses AC as
poer source to power and control a DC motor. The cheap
definition... The drive has two parts the power components
and a controler. The power components convert AC power to
DC by a Rectifier. The controller (among other things) is
basicly a high speed timer that fires a solid state device
(BPT, IGBT or some other gate) very rapidly (Pulse width
modulation on and off). The controller gets a setpoint from
a potentiometer or some other means perhaps a digital
number via some protocol and uses a means of maintaing this
setpoint by calculating the difference between the setpoint
and the actual speed with a tach or some other means and
adjust the output accordingly.
AC Drive:-
AC drives are also known as adjustable-
frequency drives (AFD), variable-speed drives (VSD),
Variable-frequency drives, microdrives or inverter drives.
Since the voltage is varied along with frequency, these are
sometimes also called VVVF (variable voltage variable
frequency) drives.
A AC drive is a system for controlling the rotational speed
of an alternating current (AC) electric motor by
controlling the frequency of the electrical power supplied
to the motor A variable frequency drive is a specific type
of adjustable-speed drive.

bit confused - am i correct in thinking that to determine line to line voltage in a star config 110v 3 phase 4 wire distribution system i would use a voltmeter? I have a circuit configured as an unbalanced load, consisting of three incandescent lamps (1x40w, 1x60w, 1x100w - all 110v rated)connected in a star configuration to a 110v 3 phase 4 wire distribution system. I want to find out what types of meters i would use to obtain: a) each line to line voltage b) the line to neutral voltage across each load c) current flowing in each line and load d) current flowing in the neutral conductor e) power supplied to the loads im assuming i would be using ammeters in series along each line and voltmeters in parallel across each line to neutral? Also how could i predict these meter readings before taking them and with which formulae? Any help would be greatly appreciated A.
