Abstract

In a slip frequency control system hitherto widely employed as a control system for an induction motor type electric rolling stock (in which a slip frequency is determined from a current deviation, an inverter frequency is calculated from the slip frequency and a motor rotation frequency, and the inverter frequency is multiplied by a predetermined correction factor to determine a modulation rate, thereby operating an inverter), a motor output torque decreases in a low speed region. It is difficult to make the correction for this decrease of torque by detecting the torque. In the present invention made considering that a torque curve and sin .phi. (.phi.: the internal impedance angle of a motor) obtained from the result of simulation resemble each other, the decrease of sin .phi. is regarded as being the decrease of torque and a voltage to frequency ratio is corrected so as to compensate for the decrease of sin .phi..
