The article provides a comparative assessment of various ways of powering a synchronous motor with permanent magnets (PMSM) in the mode of a thyratron motor (TM). Numerically, on analytical and computer models, mechanical ω = f(M), the dependence of speed on electromagnetic torque, and energy ηэ = f(M), the dependence of elec-tromagnetic efficiency are calculated from the moment, the characteristics of the motor with sinusoidal power supply and discrete switching with different values of the relative inductance of the winding. Moment pulsations are investigated. The three most common methods of discrete degree commutation are considered – 120, 180 and 150. It is shown that discrete 120 degree commutation provides the highest value of ηэ in comparison with other methods, and the mechanical character-istics are approximately the same in appearance with different power supply methods. The study of moment pulsations has shown that discrete switching without additional measures cannot compete in this indicator with the case of sinusoidal power supply, which theoretically has zero moment pulsations. However, the use of 150 degree commutation makes it possible to significantly reduce them, bringing them closer to 2…3 %. Curves are given that allow an approximate estimate of the expected moment pulsations for all discrete switching methods. Practical recommendations on the choice of the method of powering the PMSM are given.
The article considers the possibility of implementing phase vector control (FVU) of a synchronous motor with permanent magnets in the thyratron motor mode. The characteristics of the FVU with three methods of discrete commutation of the three-phase winding are considered: six-stroke 120- and 180-degree and twelve-stroke 150-degree. A comparative assessment of the efficiency of the PVF is carried out in terms of expanding the range of implemented mechanical coordinates and energy indicators, both with different methods of discrete switching and with respect to sinusoidal power supply. It is shown that 120-degree switching is the most advantageous in terms of energy indicators. However, with it, the values of the maximum achievable speeds and moments weakly depend on the angle of commutation θ, therefore, operation is recommended at a constant θ = 0, corresponding to the efficiency value close to the maximum in a wide range of speeds. With 180-degree commutation, the FVU allows you to adjust both the maximum speed and the maximum torque. However, with small values of the relative inductance of the winding, which refers to the ratio of inductive resistance to active, this method of regulation is ineffective due to low efficiency and is inferior in this indicator to both 120-degree commutation and the case of sinusoidal power supply. As the relative inductance increases, the difference between the case of sinusoidal power supply and 180-degree switching decreases. The use of 150-degree commutation allows, on the one hand, to increase efficiency while maintaining the ability to adjust coordinates, on the other hand, reduces the pulsation of the motor torque, expanding the possible scope of the drive.
