Optimization of an Electric Motor Control System for a Robotic System

Abstract

The article describes a practical optimization of a single-phase electric motor's control using a three-phase frequency converter and a choke. The value of the inductance of the choke used in the circuit diagram was optimized using three values. The goal is to choose an inductance value that brings the form of an electric motor's supply voltage as close to the parameters of a conventional supply network as possible. The waveforms of the single-phase motor's input voltage are captured with an oscilloscope as the primary criterion for successful optimization. The fact that the electric motor is a component of a larger, more sophisticated robotic system that requires robust control makes speed control of the electric motor necessary.
