The outer loop of a cascade-controlled dc drive commands

  • A.the firing angle of the converter directly, bypassing the current loop
  • B.the field current of the machine independently of the armature
  • C.the switching frequency of the chopper feeding the machine
  • D.the current reference for the inner loop

Answer: D

Correct answer: the current reference for the inner loop

A cascade structure has a fast inner current loop within a slower outer speed loop. The speed controller compares the measured speed with the demand and produces a current reference, which the inner loop then enforces by adjusting the firing angle. The arrangement is used because current is proportional to torque and must be limited absolutely: clamping the outer loop’s output caps the current directly, protecting the machine and the converter.
