Abstract

The speed control of a three-phase squirrel cage induction motor by employing triacs in the lines which operate in the normal phase control mode is described. The inherent limitation of low circuit commutated (dv/dt), which makes the triac circuit somewhat unreliable, has been overcome by suitably designing the snubber circuit. The closed-loop speed regulation of the system is then investigated by employing digital phase-locked loop scheme. Compared to the conventional method with antiparallel SCR's and analog servo, the present scheme is somewhat simpler, more economical, and extreme precision in speed control is possible. A complete model of the speed control system has been designed and experimentally evaluated in the laboratory.
