Experimental study of the control of operating modes of a plate feeder based on the frequency-controlled electric drive

Abstract

An experimental study of the control of the operating modes of the plate feeder based on a frequency-controlled electric drive in the mining industry has been carried out. The graphs of measurements of the electrical parameters of the electric drive supplied from the frequency converter of the plastic feeder, instantaneous values of harmonic composition of voltage and current up to 50 harmonics, as well as changes in current and voltage harmonics over a period of 30 minutes were obtained. Measurement of oscillograms of voltage and current of each phase in operating mode and the moment of turning off and turning on the electric motor of the plastic feeder. The issues of control of starting modes of the plate feeder from frequency-controlled electric drives are considered. It has been determined that frequency start-up with the linear control law for the frequency of the plate feeder as a function of time and technological parameters are the most acceptable condition for starting modes.
