Abstract: This paper exhibits another control system for three-phase induction motor which
incorporates free speed and torque control loops and the current direction thereby
Overcoming the confinement (i.e. slow reaction) of volts per hertz controlled mechanical
drives. For close-loop control, the criticism signals including the rotor speed, flux and torque
are not estimated straightforwardly but rather are assessed by methods for an algorithm. The
contributions to this algorithm are the reproduced waveforms of stator currents and voltages
got from the dc link and not estimated straightforwardly on stator side. The proposed drive
consequently requires just a single sensor in the dc link to actualize the close-loop speed and
torque control of a three-phase induction motor. The reproduction comes about on a 2.2 kW
induction motor drive in atlab/Simulink programming show quick powerful reaction and
great assention between the real esteems and the assessed estimations of torque and speed.
Substitution of the open-loop control technique of existing v/f drive by the proposed close-
loop system has all the earmarks of being conceivable without requiring any extra power
parts and sensors.
