ABB motors, Germany ABB models, ABB prices

ABB motors are devices that convert electrical energy into mechanical energy. They use energized coils (i.e., stator windings) to generate a rotating magnetic field that acts on the rotor (such as a squirrel-cage closed aluminum frame) to form electromagnetic rotational torque. Motors are classified into DC motors and AC motors based on the power supply used. Most motors in power systems are AC motors, which can be synchronous motors or asynchronous motors (where the speed of the stator magnetic field does not remain synchronized with the rotor rotation speed). Motors mainly consist of a stator and a rotor. The direction of motion of current-carrying conductors under force in a magnetic field is related to the direction of the current and the direction of magnetic field lines (magnetic field direction). The working principle of a motor is that the magnetic field exerts force on the current, causing the motor to rotate.

ABB motor service life

Motor life is related to various factors such as functional failures caused by insulation deterioration, wear of sliding parts, and bearing degradation. In most cases, it depends on the condition of the bearings. Bearing life includes two types: mechanical life and lubricant life. Bearing life consists of 1, lubricant life due to thermal degradation, and 2, mechanical life due to operational fatigue. In most cases, the effect of heat on lubricant life is greater than the effect of load weight on the mechanical life of the bearing. Therefore, motor life is estimated based on lubricant life. The most significant factor affecting lubricant life is temperature, which significantly impacts service life.

ABB motor starting methods

Motor starting methods include: direct-on-line starting, autotransformer reduced-voltage starting, y-δ starting, soft starters, and variable frequency drives. Direct-on-line starting: When both grid capacity and load allow for direct-on-line starting, this method can be considered. Its advantages are convenient operation and control, simple maintenance, and cost-effectiveness. It is mainly used for starting low-power motors. From an energy-saving perspective, motors larger than 11kW should not use this method. Autotransformer reduced-voltage starting: This method uses the multi-tap voltage reduction of an autotransformer. It can adapt to the starting needs of different loads and provide greater starting torque. It is a reduced-voltage starting method frequently used to start larger-capacity motors. Its greatest advantage is the high starting torque. When the winding tap is at 80%, the starting torque can reach 64% of that during direct starting. The starting torque can be adjusted via the taps. It is still widely used. y-δ starting: For squirrel-cage asynchronous motors whose stator windings are connected in delta during normal operation, if the stator windings are connected in star during starting and then switched to delta after starting is complete, the starting current can be reduced, lessening the impact on the power grid. This starting method is called star-delta reduced-voltage starting, or simply star-delta starting (y-δ starting). When using star-delta starting, the starting current is only 1/3 of that during direct starting with a delta connection. If the starting current during direct starting is calculated as 6～7ie, then during star-delta starting, the starting current is only 2～2.3 times. This means that when using star-delta starting, the starting torque is also reduced to 1/3 of that during direct starting with a delta connection. It is suitable for no-load or light-load starting conditions. Compared with any other reduced-voltage starter, its structure is the simplest and the price is the lowest. In addition, the star-delta starting method has another advantage: when the load is light, the motor can operate in star connection. In this case, the rated torque matches the load, which can improve motor efficiency and thereby save power consumption. Soft starters: These use the phase-shift voltage regulation principle of thyristors to achieve voltage-regulated starting of motors. They are mainly used for motor starting control. The starting effect is good, but the cost is high. Due to the use of thyristor components, harmonic interference is significant during thyristor operation, which has a certain impact on the power grid. Additionally, grid fluctuations can affect the conduction of thyristor components, especially when multiple thyristor devices are present in the same grid. Therefore, the failure rate of thyristor components is relatively high. As it involves power electronics technology, the requirements for maintenance technicians are also higher. Variable frequency drives: Variable frequency drives are the motor control devices with the highest technical content, the most comprehensive control functions, and the best control effects in the modern motor control field. They regulate motor speed and torque by changing the grid frequency. Because they involve power electronics technology and microcomputer technology, the cost is high, and the requirements for maintenance technicians are also high. Therefore, they are mainly used in fields requiring speed adjustment and high precision in speed control.

ABB motor speed control methods

There are many motor speed control methods that can meet the requirements of speed changes in different production machinery. Generally, when controlling motor speed, its output power changes with speed. From the perspective of energy consumption, speed control can be roughly divided into two types: (1) keeping input power constant. By changing the energy consumption of the speed control device, the output power is regulated to adjust the motor speed. (2) controlling motor input power to adjust motor speed.
