Drive system of centrifugal sodium pumps

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4396443
The important featumes on which the drive system of the sodium pump in the Fast Breeder Test Reactor (FBTR) at Kalpakkam is based are described. They include large inertia emengency drive, -fast acceleration and deceleration, speed control and capability to smoothen the undesirable transients in sodium system. The process and equipment safety requirements that led to the selection of Ward Leonard system for driving of these pumps are explained. The salient features of the Ward Leonard system, as they will exist in FBTR, are also discussed. (INIS)
