OBJECTIVE

To study the speed variation using stator voltage control of squirrel cage
induction motor at constant load torque at different firing angles of
converters.

THEORY
Stator voltage control is a method used to control the speed of
an induction motor. The speed of a three-phase induction motor can be
varied by varying the supply voltage. As we already know that the
torque developed is proportional to the square of the supply voltage
and the slip at the maximum torque is independent of the supply
voltage. The variation in the supply voltage does not alter the
synchronous speed of the motor

CONCLUSION

 Speed control of squirrel cage induction motor was obtained by varying

the conduction period of the Thyristor. We simulated the circuit in PSIM
and seen that the by varying the conduction period we were able to
change the speed of a constant torque load.
