Induction Motor Speed Control

There are two main types of speed control for three-phase induction machines: stator side control and rotor side control. Stator side control involves varying the supply voltage, supply frequency, or number of poles. Rotor side control involves varying the rotor resistance (for wound rotor motors only) or using power electronics to control both the supply voltage and frequency in order to maintain a constant V/f ratio and achieve better speed regulation with less torque ripple.

Speed Control
• There are 2 types of speed control of 3 phase
induction machines
– From stator side
i. Variation in supply voltage
ii. Variation in supply frequency
iii. Variation in number of poles
iv. From the rotor side
– From Rotor side
i From the Stator side
ii From the rotor side

Varying rotor resistance
• For wound rotor only
• Speed is decreasing
T
• Constant maximum torque
• The speed at which max R1 < R2 < R3
torque occurs changes R1
nr1< nr2< nr3
R2
• Disadvantages: R3
T
– large speed regulation
– Power loss in Rext – reduce
the efficiency

Varying supply voltage
• Maximum torque changes
• The speed which at max
torque occurs is constant (at T

max torque, XR=RR/s V1


V decreasing

• Relatively simple method – V2 V1> V2 > V3


nr1> nr2 > nr3
uses power electronics circuit V3

for voltage controller


T
• Suitable for fan type load
• Disadvantages :
– Large speed regulation since ~ nr3 nr2 nr1 n ~n n

Varying supply voltage and supply frequency

• The best method since


supply voltage and supply T f decreasing
frequency is varied to keep
V/ constant

• Maintain speed regulation
• uses power electronics T
