Abstract :
The paper presents a study of the performance of a universal motor during transient and steady-state periods, by varying the frequency of its output voltage. The motor is fed using a three-phase to single-phase cycloconverter controlled by an efficient microcontroller (Motorola MC68332). A method for developing the control scheme of phase controlled cycloconverter achieves low harmonics. Simulation and experimental results show that the proposed control method is useful in industrial applications which need variable speed with good motor performance
