Abstract

An ac induction motor is supplied with variable frequency and amplitude excitation voltage by a power converter. Precise regulation of torque independent of motor parameter changes is achieved by feedback control loops for maintaining at command values constant airgap flux and also the real component of stator current with respect to airgap voltage as measured by a voltage sensor. The real stator current error controls the slip frequency which adjusts to maintain constant airgap power.
