Abstract

With the increasing use of equipment that demand electric drive systems, the need for new systems that meet requirements of compactness, versatility, safety and low cost has increased. The IRAM module is an electronic circuit that provides a driver for DC and AC motors, being extremely compact and presents high performance. In this context, this work contributes to the power electronics area, presenting a design and construction of a low cost drive system, based on IRAM module, developed for individual or simultaneous drive, up to two DC motors. To carry out the experiments, DC motors responsible for moving a welding robot, were used. Experimental results are presented to shown the feasibility of using this system.
