Abstract
A method of determining a slip estimate associated with an induction motor through analysis of voltage and current signals. A fundamental frequency is calculated from a representation (e.g., complex representation) of the voltage signal, and a saliency frequency is calculated from a representation of the current signal. An estimation of slip quantity is calculated according to a slip estimation function that includes the saliency frequency, a saliency order, the fundamental frequency, a quantity of rotor slots, and a quantity of poles of the motor.
