A drive whose load falls to a small fraction of rated for long periods should be

  • A.operated with flux reduction or sized more closely
  • B.operated at full flux at all times regardless of the load
  • C.replaced with a much larger machine to give greater margin
  • D.operated above base frequency to reduce its losses

Answer: A

Correct answer: operated with flux reduction or sized more closely

A machine running for long periods at a small fraction of its rating spends most of its energy on losses that do not depend on the load. The two remedies both address that: reduce the flux so the magnetising and core losses fall, or fit a smaller machine so the load is a larger fraction of its rating. Fitting a larger machine makes the problem worse, which is why oversizing for margin is a false economy.
