A course on the analysis and design of electric motor drives. Major topics include: rectifier drives, chopper drives, voltage controller drives, slip energy recovery drives, voltage source inverter drives, current source inverter drives, cycloconverter drives. The course focus is on the analysis of the steady state operation of drive systems that allows the specification of suitable converters and machines for the speed and position control system encountered. Transient operation is discussed but not studied in detail. Important concepts are illustrated with laboratory experiments. Lect: 3 hrs./Lab: 1 hr.
