Abstract The three-phase squirrel-cage induction motor is rugged, compact,
inexpensive, can be totally enclosed and requires little maintenance.
Its use as a variable speed drive has been limited, however, by the
state-of-the art of control components.
The advent and continuing development of the silicon controlled
rectifier and associated solid-state components has provided the technology
for conceiving a static frequency converter to allow continuous
motor speed adjustment over a wide range. The static frequency converter
system adjusts the motor input frequency and voltage so the
motor can match a given load speed-torque requirement.
The high cost and low thermal overload capabilities of the solidstate
components required for a prototype dictate the use of modeling
and simulation techniques for analysis of complex systems such as the
static frequency converter motor speed control system.
