Frequency of V/F1 FCT and show the ratio between the output voltage of speed regulator block
and the output Frequency of V/F2 FCT.

Introduction

Induction motors are widely used in many residential, commercial, industrial and utility
applications. This is because the motor has low manufacturing cost, wide speed range, high
efficiency and robustness. But they require much more complex methods of control, more
expensive and higher rated power converters than DC and permanent magnet machines.
Previously, the variable speed drives had various limitations such as poor efficiencies, larger
space, low speed etc. the power electronics transformed the variable speed drive into a smaller
size, high efficiency and high reliability. The development of speed control system using
frequency control has been designed by combinations of PWM control circuit, driver circuit
and H-bridge inverter which makes the system simple, robust and compact open loop PWM
controller circuit to control single phase induction motor and single-phase induction motor can
be driven to variable speed and frequency. But it is desirable to replace the single-phase
induction motor drives by three phase induction motor drives in residential appliances, farming
and low power industrial applications. Induction motors have performed the main part of many
speed control systems and found usage in several industrial applications. The advances in
microprocessor and power electronics gives permission to implement modern techniques for
induction machines such as field-oriented control. slip frequency control. Then a modern speed
Ac machine system is equipped with adjustable frequency drive for speed control of electric
machine. The speed of machine of machine is controlled by converting fixed voltage and
frequency to adjustable values on machine side. The three-phase inverter circuit changes the
DC input voltage to three phase variable frequency variable voltage output. The three phase
Ac is rectified into DC and then filtered to minimize the ripple current. This controlled dc is
converted into controlled pulses by means of voltage to frequency converter. These controlled
pulses are fed to Inverter Bridge for producing variable voltage variable frequency output. This

output is fed to induction motor for controlling it’s speed This paper gives idea about to
implement variable speed drive for maintaining the constant speed of three phase induction
motor as batching system requires constant speed. The synchronization is necessary between
batching system and weaving machine and this can be done by using variable voltage variable
frequency method with the help of AC drive. This paper explains the batching motion system
as weaving application.
