A change in frequency of the motor will cause a change in the speed of the AC conveyor motor. This frequency change is brought about by a device called a Variable Frequency Drive. It is used to vary the frequency of the motor from 0 to 100%. I have no idea what the second answer is talking about.
ANSWER: considering that no mention of type of motor is involved the frequency change theory is quite invalid since 50 or 60 Hz AC line runs clocks from banks to wake up calls and while it is true that the frequency is not accurate from second to second it is however very accurate from minutes to minutes.
Motor speed can be controlled by either voltage or frequency. A transformer to change the typical 120 VAC down to a lower voltage would slow a motor for a constant load. Motors should be matched well to their load torque. Changing frequency is more complicated and for this simple discussion will be avoided.
On an AC motor you basically vary the frequency on a DC you can vary the voltage.
Reversing polarity is not possible with an ac motor. Some do have wiring that will allow you to change rotation. The type and model of the motor can tell you if it is reversible.
AC voltage controllers are used for controlling the speed of universal motor or induction motor by changing the firing angle :) -vinodh gav
use a inverter to change dc to ac or couple it to a ac motor making it a motor generator. Comment: AC motors cannot run on DC since their principle of operation based on induction. There's an exception,however, and thats for Universal Series motor which can run on either AC or DC.
You change the speed of rotation.
On an AC motor you basically vary the frequency on a DC you can vary the voltage.
the speed of ac motor can be controlled by controlling the synchronous speed (Ns=120f/p). and synchronous speed can be varried or controlled by changing frequency or by changing poles. but practicaly pole can not be changed. but we can change the frequency. the frequency can be VFD (Variable frequency Drives). so the speed of ac motor can be chaged or controlled by VFD.
Type your answer here... how can you change an ac motor to a dc generator
It is done to control the speed of the motor.
Ac motor have slip ring, to remove the slip ring,connected to the commutator its a dc motor.
The higher the frequency the higher the RPM the motor will turn
A dc series motor with speed control can be connected on ac supply because dc machines are totally reversible.
Answer #1 It varies the frequency fed to a synchronous AC motor. As the frequency changes, so does the motor speed. Answer #2 The formula for calculating speed is: (120 X motor supply frequency) / number of poles 120 is a fixed number, so is the number of poles for a given motor, hence the only variable is the motor supply frequency. AC drives vary the motor supply frequency in turn achieving speed control.
A variable speed module in a motor can work with ac or dc source
by using a frequency tuner in input we can change input frequency and in this way speed of dc motor will also vary. <<>> Varying the frequency (VFD) only works on AC motors.
The Synchronous motors will operate at a constant speed from noload to fullload. Even it is classified as an AC motor, we have to fed the motor both AC and DC supplies. That we have to supply DC to the Field (Normally Rotor) and AC to the Armature (Normally Stator).
An AC Drive used for a speed control of a motor by using vary frequency.
