what are the functions of power modulator?

Answer Posted / mahesh p

a. Modulates the power flow from source to the motor in such
a way that the motor is imparted speed-torque
characteristics required by the load.
b. During transient operations, such as staring, braking and
speed reversal, it restricts source and motor currents
within permissible values; excessive current drawn from
source may overload it or may cause a voltage dip.
c. Converts electrical energy of the source in the form
suitable to the motor, e.g. if the source is D.C and the
Induction motor is to be driven, then the power modulator is
required to convert the DC into a variable frequency AC.
d. Selects the mode of operation of the motor i.e. motoring
or braking.

Please help me regarding my one concern. - During earth pit testing we noticed that the Clean earth pit and dirty earth pit showing continuity (Resistance value - 5ohm) . I want to know that if both earth pit have separate location and there is not internal looping between PIT then why such continuity is showing on it . Because of this issue the field side all earthing point showing short. In PLC panel we are providing two types of earthing cable which is coming from separate earth pit (Clean and Dirty earth pit) because of earth PIT showing short our PLC is not complying spec . please help regarding this issues.
