A drive running continuously at ten per cent of base speed on a self-ventilated machine needs

  • A.a larger braking resistor than at full speed
  • B.forced ventilation or a torque derating
  • C.a smaller machine than the load would otherwise require
  • D.no special consideration

Answer: B

Correct answer: forced ventilation or a torque derating

A self-ventilated machine carries its fan on its own shaft, so at ten per cent speed it has almost no cooling air while the stator current, and hence the loss, may be at full value. Either a separately driven blower is fitted or the permissible torque is reduced, and the derating curve for continuous low-speed running is part of the machine data.
