INTRODUCTION
A new system for power factor compensation and
speed control has been sugzested'. This proposed
compensator provides some degree of speed control of
an induction motor by applied voltage reduction obtain-
‘ed by retardation of the thyristor firing angles.
Dynamic braking as applied to induction motors is a
system of braking in which the stator windings of the
motor are excited by direct currents so that the machine
becomes an alternator’,
With the compensated induction motor, the use of
compensator thyristors to give de currents in the stator
Circuits is not possible due to the shunting effect” of
the capacitor C and the resistor Rp. The method used
by switching off one of the diodes from the diode
connected in series with the compensator results in
dynamic braking torque’, The de current obtained by
F K Amouri and MF Allabajie are with the Department of
Electrical Engineering, University of Mosul, Ira.

angle is used to control the motor braking time.
the use of full wave system give nearly twice the de
dynamic braking effect as that obtained with the half-
wave system as used to produce variable de dynamic
braking. This can be done by the use of six thyristors
stead of the diodes. ‘The variation of the thyristors
firing angles can result in different de current compo-
nent when injected in the stator after ac supply dis-
connection, This is expected to control the required
time of the motor to reach standstill, The aim of this
paper is to use the microcomputer controlling the brak-
ing period of the compensated induction motor.

‘The full wave rectifier system used to produce de
current in the stator circuit after supply disconnection
to the motor is shown in Fig 2(a). The induction
motor is started with thyristor compensator gating
angle set to zero. The on push-button Sm and the
OFF push-button Sn are used in starting and braking
the motor [Fig 2(b)]. The speed as measured by the
use of a tachogenerator is fed to a storge oxcilliscope
and to the microcomputer.
‘Three-phase Rectifier Circuit
Fig 3 shows the suggested three-phase rectifier circuit
used to produce the dynamic braking current injected
to the motor. The thyristors are numbered according
to their conduction sequence.
Each thyristor conducts when it is forward biased
with its anode more positive with respect to the cathode.
Noting the foregoing figure and, considering, thyristor
1, it is forward biased only in the interval between 30
‘and 150 in each applied voltage cycle, while thytistor 2,

is forward between 90 and 210. The thyristor triggering
pulses are applied as soon as the teminal voltage wave-
form has its zero crossing,
Triggering the bridge rectifier at a fixed value of
a will result in a certain value of a de level in the
currents applied to the stator of the motor. The varia-
tion in the firing angle « will give a different de com-
ponent in the currents applied to the stator of the
rotor. The direct voltage level can be defined by the
use of the following formulat.

Microcomputer, Input/Output Ports Interfacing
Data transferring, with the circuit controlled by the
microprocessor, is achieved by making use of the on-
board programmable peripheral interface (PPI) 8255
integrated cireuit, by which three ports 4, B, and C
may be programmed as input or output ports indivi-
dually. In the NEC-TK-85 microcomputer only port
B and C are available for the operator on the edge
connector.
Another output port can be used by transferring the
accumulator content to a memory location with address
O400H, then the accumalator’s 8-bits can be latched
by using 7475 D-fio-flops integrated circuit, These flip-
flops can be loaded from the data bus lines under the
control of a decoding circait, which utilizes two address
fines AO and A10 as well as the MEMW control line
‘of the microcomputer as shown in Fig 4.
‘The MEMW line is logic zero whenever writing in
the memory is done and lines A 10 are logic one, logic

zero, respectively, when the address bus is loaded
with O400H. The decoding circuitry output can be
connected to clocklines of 7475 IC. The 7475 input is
latched when its clock is logic one, ‘This happens when
the microcomputer executes the instruction of trans-
ferring the accumulator contents to the memory loca
tion whose address is O400H which is within the
‘monitor program, The block diagram of the micropr-
cessor system used for controlling the braking time
is shown in Fig 5. The desired period of time is initiated
into the microprocessor by the operator via its key
board and stored in specific memory locations, This
diagram is of closed loop system. The flowchart shown
in Fig 6 formulates the main program. Input data of
the required period of time of braking can be loaded
to the microprocessor by storing them in specific
‘memory locations.
RESULTS
‘The full wave arrangement of thyristors (Fig 2), is
used to produce de dynamic braking torque to brake
the compensated induction motor. ‘The advantage of
this method compared with that of diode arrangements
used by Amouri and Shepherd? is the possibility of
controlling the de level of the braking currents applied
to the stator of the motor after ac supply disconnection.
This is necessary for controlling the braking time of
the motor.
The results obtained and shown in Fig 7 indicate that
at thyristor’s bridge firing angle equal to zero (a=0),
the induced current in the rotor give higher amplitude
‘modulation compared with that obtained from pure
‘de current injected in the stator (Fig 8)
Vol 69, February 1989
‘The increase of thyristor bridge firing angle to thirty
(ce=30) show that the induced rotor current has more
amplitude modulation (Fig 9) than that obtined with
a=0, (Fig 7). As a result, the motor retarded speed
