I am doing project on open loop v/f control of three phase induction motor. How to decide the frequency and amplitude of triangular wave(carrier wave) for sinusoidal PWM ?
Volts/hertz control is a method used to regulate the speed of a three phase induction motor by adjusting the voltage and frequency of the power supply. It is also known as V/f control.
In volts/hertz control, the voltage and frequency are kept in a constant ratio. As the frequency increases, the voltage is also increased proportionally, resulting in a constant volts/hertz ratio. This allows for smooth and efficient control of the motor's speed.
Volts/hertz control is a simple and cost-effective method for controlling the speed of a three phase induction motor. It also provides good torque control and allows for a wide range of speed control.
One limitation of volts/hertz control is that it is not suitable for applications where precise speed control is required. It also has a limited range of speed control compared to other methods such as variable frequency drives.
Volts/hertz control is most commonly used for squirrel cage induction motors. It may not be suitable for wound rotor or synchronous induction motors, as they may require different methods of speed control.
