Abstract

A torque regulating alternating current induction motor control system comprising a motor flux sensing coil arrangement mounted on the induction motor stator for sensing the actual flux produced across the rotor-stator air gap of the motor and deriving a motor flux voltage signal proportional to the actual motor flux. An integrating circuit integrates the voltage signal to obtain a feedback sensed actual motor flux signal representative of the actual air gap flux. An actual torque feedback circuit converts the actual air gap flux and stator current signal to an actual value of torque feedback control signal. A first feedback control loop is responsive to the actual torque feedback control signal and a command value of torque signal and controls the frequency of operation of a power converter supplying the induction motor. A second feedback control loop also responsive to the feedback sensed actual value of flux converts the flux signal into a (V/Hz) voltage control signal for maintaining a substantially controlled value of rotor-stator air gap flux level. The first and second feedback control loops are interconnected and coact to maintain operation of the induction motor at a contr…
