Comparison of energy indicators of the electric lift drive of the EKG-5 excavator with different power converters
The energy indicators of the EKG-5 excavator lifting electric drive with thyristor power circuits have been determined according to the systems thyristor direct frequency converter - two-phase asynchronous electric motor, converter-DC motor and direct frequency converter - three-phase asynchronous electric motor. Losses in electric motors and converters have been determined, taking into account the specifics of their joint work in the excavator hoist drive. Integral energy indicators: full, active and reactive power; the power factor and the efficiency for the excavation cycle were determined based on the results of calculating the simulation model, the initial data for which were the parameters of the excavation cycle of the lift drive of a real excavator. Distortion coefficients of the mains current were determined for two cases: during digging and during accelerated lowering of an empty bucket. For comparison, the energy indicators of the selected electric drives with a filter-compensating device were calculated. The analysis of energy indicators is made.
