Study Objectives
● Understand the concept of electrical

drive.
● Describe the basic components of an
electrical drive system.
What is Electrical Drive?
Electrical drives convert electrical energy
into mechanical energy and serve as the
intermediary between the electrical supply
system, the energy source, and the driven
machine, the energy consumer.

Functional blocks of a modern electrical drive
Electric motor
The heart of every electrical drive is its

electric motor. It acts as an energy
transformer, converting the electrical
energy supplied to mechanical
energy. In generating operation, e.g. when
braking, the energy flow is in the opposite
direction: mechanical energy is then
converted back into electrical energy.
Motor encoder
A motor-mounted encoder (motor encoder)

determines actual quantities such as rotary
speed, speed, and position and makes these
available to the signal electronics.
Brake
A brake assists the controller in braking the

motor and prevents the motor from moving
when the controller is switched off. Particularly
when handling suspended loads, e.g. robotic
arms, elevators, and hoists, the brake holds the
mechanical system tight even when the drive is
inactive.
Gearbox
A gearbox is a mechanical transformer. It

matches the mechanical quantities
supplied by the motor such as speed and
torque to those required by the driven
machine.
A further task is to convert the rotary motion
of a motor into a linear movement where
necessary.
Switchgear and protection equipment
Switchgear and protection equipment

disconnect the electrical drive from the supply
when necessary and protect the drive and
supply cables from overload. Overloading can
be caused by the driven machine itself or be
the result of a fault in the drive.
Controller
A controller consists of a power section and

signal electronics:
Controller
the power section “portions” the electrical energy
to the motor and therefore influences the
mechanical energy delivered by the motor.
The power section of modern electrical drives is
based on power semiconductors. These act as
electrical switches, switching the flow of
electrical energy to the motor on and off.
Integrated measurement systems measure the
electrical currents and voltages and make these
available to the signal electronics.
Controller
the signal electronics is the “brain” of an

electrical drive. It determines the control
signals for the power section so that the
desired power or movement is delivered at the
motor shaft.
A fixed- Example
speed drive
with an
asynchrono
us motor
and soft
starter is to
be used to
control the
level in a
water
supply tank.
The water level is monitored using three sensors.
The drive is operated as a two-state controller.
When the water level falls beyond a minimum
value, the drive is switched on until the level
reaches a maximum value. The drive is then
switched off.
For gentle starting and stopping a soft starter is
used. If due to a fault the water level should reach
the overflow, then as a precautionary measure the
whole drive is disconnected from the power
supply.
