    Lecture 6a - VVVF IM Speed Control

    Uploaded by

    vijaykumar_aluri
    This document discusses variable voltage/variable frequency (VVVF) speed control of induction motors. It explains that induction motor speed can be controlled by varying the supply frequency, but the voltage must also be varied proportionally to maintain the flux. This has the effect of shifting the torque-speed curve along the speed axis while retaining its shape. As a result, induction motor torque remains the same at the same slip speed, regardless of operating frequency. VVVF control allows speed variation from 10-150% of rated speed.

    Induction Motors: Torque/Speed Curve


    Induction motors run near synchronous speed

    Speed Control of Induction Motors


    Recall the equation for synchronous speed:
    Ns = 120 f / p
    Therefore, to control the speed of an induction
    motor, we can control the frequency of the
    supply. Changing the frequency changes the
    nominal speed of the machine.

    However, we also want to keep the flux () in the
    machine at the design value. Recall the flux
    linking equation:
    V = 4.44 N f
    Clearly, is proportional to V / f. Therefore, as we
    vary the frequency, we must also vary the
    voltage in proportion. (Volts per Hertz Rule)

    Speed Control of Induction Motors


    The effect of VVVF speed control is to retain the
    shape of the torque-speed curve, but shift it
    along the speed axis.

    Speed Control of Induction Motors


    For VVVF control, because the shape of the
    torque-speed curve is the same at all
    frequencies, it follows that the torque of an
    induction motor is the same whenever the
    slip speed (rpm) is the same.
    Slip speed = Synchronous Speed Actual Speed

    Speed Control of Induction Motors


    With VVVF control, the speed range possible is from
    about 10% to 150% of rated speed.
    Below 10% of rated speed, the volts per hertz ratio has
    to be progressively increased to compensate for the IR
    drop in the stator. This is because at very low
    frequencies the stator resistance dominates the
    magnetising reactance (= 2 f L).
    Above rated the speed is limited by centrifugal forces on
    the rotor.

    Speed Control of Induction Motors


    To implement VVVF control we need a
    VVVF AC supply
    A supply of this nature is realised with
    power electronics
