Description
Summary:This paper presented a single to three-phase induction motor drive system to provide variable output voltage and frequency. The proposed drive system employs only six IGBT switches, which form the front-end rectifier and the output inverter for the one step conversion from single-phase supply to output three-phase supply. The front-end rectifier permits bidirectional power flow and provides excellent regulation against fluctuations in source voltage. Moreover, it incorporates active input current shaping feature. The control strategy of the proposed drive system of three-phase induction motor is based on speed sensorless vector control technique. A low cost of motor drive and much more advantages can be achieved using the proposed drive system. Simulation and experimental results are carried out to analysis and explore the characteristics of the proposed drive system.
