Speed control of three phase induction motors:

1. Resistance insertion in rotor circuit (wound rotor case).

2. Variable frequency control.
3. Variable voltage control.
4. Changing no. of poles.
5. (V/F) control.

4. Changing no. of poles.

As speed depends on no. of poles from the

relation NS=120*F/P so by changing no of
poles we control the speed and this achieved
during motor design as the terminals can be
connected by many methods to get the
required no. of poles and then the desired
speed.
5. (V/F) control.

Why we must keep this percentage constant ?

Since E=4.44 * flux*Freq*Tph*Kw
where Tph, Kw are constant for the same machine ,so
E=Flux*Freq
Then Flux=E/Freq , if we increase frequency only flux
will decrease and then torque will decrease as
T=K*Flux*I
V/F curves:
Constant power system :

Many applications require that motor working over it’s

rated speed ,increasing voltage over it’s rated value
will damage the insulation of windings so we will
increase the frequency only but (v/f) will decrease
and the torque will decrease too but speed will
increase so the power will be constant as
P=T*W
