  • Abstract
    Household refrigerators usually utilise an on/off controlled, constant-speed, single-phase induction motor to drive the compressor. This paper describes the results obtained on a prototype refrigerator using a variable-speed, three-phase induction motor drive. The motor construction is described, and test results of the motor and drive efficiency, when an energy efficient control strategy was applied, are given
