How to add load to three-phase asynchronous motor? What are the different load regulation methods?

Three-phase asynchronous motor is a commonly used type of motor that works through electromagnetic induction and is widely used in various fields. In actual application, in order to achieve real-time control and adjustment of the motor, we need to add a load to the motor. This article will introduce in detail how to load a three-phase asynchronous motor and different load adjustment methods.


1. How to add load to three-phase asynchronous motor
Adding load to a three-phase asynchronous motor is mainly achieved by changing the torque and load characteristics of the motor . In practical applications, we can add load in the following ways:
1. Mechanical load:
Mechanical load is the most common type of load. By connecting the motor to a load device, such as a pump, fan, etc., the motor is subjected to a certain load. Specific mechanical load modes include direct drive, belt drive, sprocket drive, etc. The public account "Mechanical Engineering Literature", a gas station for engineers!
2. Electrical load:
Electrical load refers to converting the output electric energy of the motor into electric heat, electromotive force, etc. for load. The more common electrical load methods include resistance heating, motor power generation, etc.
3. Inertia load:
Inertia load is achieved by connecting the motor to a load device with a large rotational inertia. This load mode is more common in situations where smooth start and acceleration are required, such as elevators, cranes, etc.
4. Hydraulic load:
The hydraulic load is realized by connecting the electric motor and the hydraulic transmission device. It mainly uses the characteristics of the hydraulic system to change the load situation by adjusting the pressure and flow of the oil.

 2. Different load adjustment methods
When adjusting the load of a three-phase asynchronous motor, we can achieve it in different ways. Here are some common load adjustment methods:
1. Frequency conversion speed regulation:
The frequency converter is used to adjust the speed of the motor to adjust the load. Variable frequency speed regulation has the advantages of wide adjustment range and stable output, and is widely used in various fields. The public account "Mechanical Engineering Literature", a gas station for engineers!
2. Pulse width modulation (PWM) speed regulation:
Pulse width modulation technology is used to regulate the speed of the motor. Specifically, by changing the duty cycle of the PWM signal, the average voltage and frequency of the motor can be controlled, thereby adjusting the load.
3. Brake control:
The load regulation of the motor is achieved by using braking devices, such as brakes, resistors, etc. Specifically, when the load needs to be increased, the braking device converts the mechanical energy of the motor into thermal energy, thereby increasing the load.
4. Induction electromotive force adjustment:
By changing the stator voltage or rotor resistance of the motor, the output torque and load of the motor are adjusted. This method has the characteristics of simple structure and wide adjustment range.
 In addition to the above-mentioned common load regulation methods, there are other more special load regulation methods, such as closed-loop load regulation, open-loop load regulation, etc. The specific actual application depends on the specific situation.

To sum up, the three-phase asynchronous motor loading methods include mechanical load, electrical load, inertia load, hydraulic load, etc. In terms of load regulation, various methods such as frequency conversion speed regulation, pulse width modulation speed regulation, braking control, and induced electromotive force regulation can be used. In the actual application process, we can choose the appropriate load mode and adjustment mode according to the specific situation to achieve precise control and adjustment of the motor.
