Controlling electrical circuit of electric motor on igbt transistors

Purpose. Development and analysis of the operation of an electrical circuit for controlling a 700 W direct current electric motor using a contactor on IGBT transistors for operation in diesel locomotives. Methodology. Analytical and computational methods for developing and analyzing the operation of an electrical circuit using a contactor on IGBT transistors. Findings. An electrical circuit for controlling a 700 W DC motor using IGBT transistors was developed. The circuit allows you to replace electromagnetic contactors with IGBT transistors to improve the technical characteristics and performance of the electric motor. The use of IGBT transistors allows you to avoid burning of contact groups in comparison with an electromagnetic contactor. A graphical analysis of the transient processes during switching on and off of the electric motor using a circuit based on IGBT transistors was carried out. The analysis of the load characteristic of the electric motor at start-up shows that in the initial section the voltage increases according to a linear law. After the initial increase in voltage, it reaches the set value and the electric motor operates in the operating mode. The analysis of
