Abstract

Induction Motor is a constant speed drive. There is a requirement to vary the speed as per the application. The speed depends upon the frequency as well as the number of poles, but it is quite difficult to change the structure of the whole machine. This paper describes about the speed control using a cycloconverter. Cycloconverters are used for the conversion of fixed AC to variable AC, by changing the frequency. The frequencies are reduced to F/3, F/4 and F/5. The corresponding gate pulses are triggered by the pulse generator. As the frequency varies, speed regulates in the machine.
