Abstract

A variable output induction motor drive system for use with a polyphase variable output alternating current motor including a rotor and stator to drive an operating load such as an automotive vehicle, the variable output induction motor drive system comprises a sine wave current generator operatively coupled to a direct current power source to receive direct current therefrom and to generate a variable sine wave current and operatively coupled to the polyphase variable output alternating current motor to selectively feed the variable sine wave current thereto and a sine wave current control coupled between the sine wave power current generator and the polyphase variable output alternating current motor to monitor the operating parameters of the polyphase variable output alternating current motor and to control the amplitude and frequency of the variable sine wave current fed from the sine wave current generator to the polyphase variable output alternating current motor to control the output torque and speed thereof.
