Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)

The project Neutral-Point Clamped (NPC) converter by Mohamed Aldihani, Lazim Almutairi, & Abdulelah Alajlan aims to control current, fixed switching frequency, and connection NPC with Grid. The client of our project is Dr.Venkata Yaramasu. The project NPC converter has many devices connected together such as 3 phase power, Yaskawa A1000 Drive, Motor Generator, and NPC converter with host PC as shown in Fig.1,2.

Experiment

The problem that team has identified is that the speed sensor (encoder) is bigger than the motor Shaft, as shown in Fig.3. But the team has resolved the problem by adding Shaft Coupling 8mm, as shown in Fig.4.
