What speed control is used for single-phase 220v capacitor motor

Single-phase 220V capacitor motor is a common household electrical appliance motor, widely used in electric fans, air conditioners, washing machines and other equipment. Due to its simple structure, low cost, easy maintenance and other advantages, it is widely used in various occasions. However, the speed regulation of single-phase 220V capacitor motor has always been a technical problem. This article will introduce the speed regulation method of single-phase 220V capacitor motor in detail, including electronic speed regulator, variable frequency speed regulator, variable capacitance speed regulator, etc.

1. Working principle of single-phase 220V capacitor motor

The single-phase 220V capacitor motor is mainly composed of a stator, a rotor, a capacitor, etc. The stator is wound with a main winding and a starting winding, and the rotor is wound with a short-circuit winding. When the power is turned on, current is generated in the main winding and the starting winding, forming a rotating magnetic field. The rotor generates an induced current under the action of the rotating magnetic field, forming an electromagnetic torque, which makes the motor rotate.

2. Speed ​​regulation requirements for single-phase 220V capacitor motors

In practical applications, single-phase 220V capacitor motors often need to be adjusted in speed according to changes in load. For example, electric fans require different wind speeds in different seasons, and air conditioners require different cooling capacities at different temperatures. Therefore, the speed regulation of single-phase 220V capacitor motors has important practical significance.

1. Electronic speed controller

Electronic speed controller is a method of controlling the speed of a motor by using electronic technology. It changes the speed of the motor by controlling the input voltage or current of the motor. The advantages of electronic speed controller are wide speed regulation range, fast response speed and high control accuracy, but the cost is relatively high.

The working principle of the electronic speed regulator is as follows:

(1) Voltage-controlled electronic speed regulator: The motor speed is regulated by changing the input voltage of the motor. Common voltage-controlled electronic speed regulators include thyristor speed regulators and PWM speed regulators.

(2) Current-controlled electronic speed regulator: The motor speed is regulated by changing the input current of the motor. Common current-controlled electronic speed regulators include DC speed regulators and vector control speed regulators.

1. Frequency converter

The variable frequency speed regulator is a method of using variable frequency technology to achieve motor speed regulation. It achieves motor speed regulation by changing the power supply frequency of the motor. The advantages of the variable frequency speed regulator are wide speed regulation range, high efficiency, and good energy saving effect, but the cost is relatively high.

The working principle of the variable frequency speed regulator is as follows:

(1) AC-DC-AC variable frequency speed regulator: The AC power is converted into an adjustable frequency AC power supply through rectification, filtering, inversion and other links to supply the motor.

(2) AC-AC frequency converter: directly converts AC power into adjustable frequency AC power to supply the motor.

1. Variable Capacity Speed ​​Regulator

A variable capacitance speed regulator is a method of speed regulation by changing the capacitance value of the motor. It achieves speed regulation by changing the motor's starting capacitance or running capacitance, changing the motor's power factor and torque. The advantages of a variable capacitance speed regulator are low cost and simple structure, but the speed regulation range is limited.

The working principle of variable capacity speed regulator is as follows:

(1) Changing the starting capacitor: By changing the value of the starting capacitor, the starting torque of the motor can be changed to achieve starting speed regulation of the motor.

(2) Changing the running capacitor: By changing the value of the running capacitor, the power factor and torque of the motor can be changed to achieve motor speed regulation.
