Example 1
A motor drives two loads, one has a rotational motion. It is coupled to a motor
through a reduction gear with a = 0.1 & efficiency of 90%. The load has moment
of inertia of 10 kgm2 & torque of 10 Nm. The other load has a translational motion
& consists of thousand kg to be lifted up at uniform speed of 1.5 m/s. Coupling
between this load & motor has an efficiency of 85%. Motor has inertia of 0.2 kgm2
& runs at a constant speed of 1420 rpm. Determine the equivalent inertia referred
to the motor shaft & power developed by the motor.

• An accurate & complete study of the problem of stability of drives requires the
solution of the differential equation of the drive system & interpretation of
results obtained.
• In general, it may be said that if the transient portion of the solution to these
equations approaches zero with increasing time, the effects of any disturbance
die away and the system is stable.
• However, in absence of any such complete analysis, considerable insight to the
problem may be gained by a study of the steady state speed torque curves of
both motor & load and assuming all the departures from equilibrium will be
along these curves.

We have,
T M = TL + J ....................[1]
Let a small perturbation in speed Δwm results in ΔTM & ΔTL perturbations in TM &
TL respectively. Then,
( Δwm)
TM+ ΔTM = TL +ΔTL + J ..............................[2]
Subtracting [2] from [1]
Δwm
ΔTM = ΔTL + J ...............................[3]

For small perturbation, the speed torque curves of the motor & load can be
considered to be straight lines. Hence,
ΔTM = * Δwm
Where & are respectively slopes of the speed torque curves of motor &
load at operating points under consideration.
Substituting [4] in [3],

In order that the system is stable it is necessary that the exponent be negative, so
that the deviations will disappear with time. Under these conditions, the system
will return to its equilibrium speed.
Whereas, if the exponent be positive, the speed deviation will increase with time &
the system will move away from the equilibrium.
If the exponent is exactly equal to zero the equation is insufficient to discuss the
stability.
The exponent will be negative if,
>0

>0
This is equivalent to say that for a decrease in speed the motor torque must exceed
the load torque & for an increase in speed the motor torque must be less than the
load torque.
Examples
T Tl
Tm
For increase in speed about equilibrium, load torque is greater than motor torque
hence drive decelerates and has the capability to return back to equilibrium state.
Examples
T Tm
Tl
For increase in speed about equilibrium, motor torque is greater than load torque
and hence the drive further accelerates and does not have the capability to return
back to equilibrium state.
