ABSTRACT
There are several terms used to describe devices that control speed. Variable
frequency drive uses power electronics vary the frequency of input power to motor, thereby
controlling motor speed. AC motor drives are widely used to control the speed of pumps,
blower speeds, machine tool speeds, conyeyor systems speeds and others applications that
require variable speed with variable torque. A modern industrial power system may include
variable frequency drive (VFD) loads at several locations. The complete system consists of
an ac voltage input that is put through a diode bridge rectifier to produce a dc output which
across a shunt capacitor, this will, in turn, feed the PWM inverter. The PWM inverter is
controlled to produce a desired sinusoidal voltage at a particular frequency.

The 'metal' in the name (for transistors up to the 65 nanometer technology node) is an
anachronism from early chips in which the gates were metal; They use polysilicon gates. IGFET is
a related, more general term meaning insulated-gate field-effect transistor, and is almost
synonymous with "MOSFET", though it can refer to FETs with a gate insulator that is not oxide.
Some prefer to use "IGFET" when referring to devices with polysilicon gates, but most still call
them MOSFETs. With the new generation of high-k technology that Intel and IBM have
announced, metal gates in conjunction with the high-k dielectric material replacing the silicon
dioxide are making a comeback replacing the polysilicon.
48
Usually the semiconductor of choice is silicon, but some chip manufacturers, most notably
IBM, have begun to use a mixture of silicon and germanium (SiGe) in MOSFET channels.
Unfortunately, many semiconductors with better electrical properties than silicon, such as gallium
arsenide, do not form good gate oxides and thus are not suitable for MOSFETs.
The gate terminal in the current generation (65 nanometer node) of MOSFETs is a layer of
polysilicon (polycrystalline silicon; why polysilicon is used will be explained below) placed over
the channel, but separated from the channel by a thin insulating layer of what was traditionally
silicon dioxide, but more advanced technologies used silicon oxynitride. The next generation (45
nanometer and beyond) uses a high-k + metal gate combination. When a voltage is applied between
the gate and source terminals, the electric field generated penetrates through the oxide and creates a
so-called "inversion channel" in the channel underneath. The inversion channel is of the same type
— P-type or N-type — as the source and drain, so it provides a conduit through which current can
pass. Varying the voltage between the gate and body modulates the conductivity of this layer and
makes it possible to control the current flow between drain and source.

4.6.5 Circuit Working Description
This circuit is mainly designed to control the speed of the AC induction motor and DC
motor. The MOSFET are used to control the speed of the motor by varying the supply voltage to
the motors. The MOSFET is switched with very high speed with the help of PWM waves. The
49
PWM waves are generated by the PIC microcontroller. The PWM time period and duty cycle is
controlled by the software.
In the microcontroller we are generating two PWM waves with different time period. They
are used to drive the two set of MOSFET drivers through AND gate. So the AND gate is used to
change the switching time between the two set of MOSFET drivers. When the duty cycle of both
the PWM waves is high, the output of the AND (IN1) gate is high which is given to transistor
network. The transistor network is consists of BC 547 and BC 557 transistor. Now the both the
transistor is conducting, due to that 12v is given to MOSFET Q1 and Q2 gates. So the MOSFET
are switched ON and delivered the output on the center tapped transformer.
In the center tapped transformer, the DC input is given to middle terminal and other two end
terminals are connected in the each of the MOSFET drivers Drain terminal. The DC input negative
terminal is connected in the source terminal. Similarly in the next of duty cycle, another AND gate
(IN2) output is high which drive another set of MOSFET drivers. Due to high switching speed the
given DC input is converted to related sine wave which is step up through the transformer. This AC
voltage is delivered in the transformer secondary.
This AC voltage can be used to drive the AC induction motor. Suppose if you want to drive
the DC motor the corresponding AC voltage is rectified through bridge rectifier.
4.7 IR (U-SLOT) SPEED SENSOR
This circuit is designed to monitor the speed of the motor. The holes type pulley is
attached in the motor shaft. The pulley is rotated across the uslot. The uslot consists of IR
transmitter and receiver.
Infrared transmitter is one type of LED which emits infrared rays generally called as IR
Transmitter. Similarly IR Receiver is used to receive the IR rays transmitted by the IR transmitter.
One important point is both IR transmitter and receiver should be placed straight line to each other.
When supply is ON, the IR transmitter LED is conducting it passes the IR rays to the receiver.
The IR receiver is connected to base of the BC 547 switching transistor through resistors. When
motor is not rotating the IR transmitter passes the rays to the receiver.
50
Figure 30: IR (U-SLOT) SPEED SENSOR
The IR receiver LED is conducting due to that less than 0.7V is given to transistor base so
that transistor is not conducting. Now the VCC +5V is given to the input of the inverter (IC7404)
and zero taken as output. When motor is rotating, the pulley attached in the shaft also rotating, so it
interprets the IR rays between transmitter and receiver. Hence IR receiver LED is not conducting
due to that more than 0.7V is given to base of the transistor. Now the transistor is conducting so it
shorts the collector and emitter terminal. The zero voltage is given to inverter input and +5v is
taken in the output. Hence depends on the motor speed the zero to 5v square pulse is generating at
the output which is given to microcontroller in order to count the pulse. This pulse rate is equal to
the monitored speed of the motor.
4.8 SINGLE PHASE INDUCTION MOTOR
An induction or asynchronous motor is an AC electric motor in which the electric current in
the rotor needed to produce torque is obtained by electromagnetic induction from the magnetic field
of the stator winding. An induction motor therefore does not require mechanical commutation,
separate-excitation or self-excitation for all or part of the energy transferred from stator to rotor, as
in universal, DC and large synchronous motors. An induction motor's rotor can be either wound
type or squirrel-cage type.

Figure 31: Single Phase Induction Motor
Three-phase squirrel-cage induction motors are widely used in industrial drives because
they are rugged, reliable and economical. Single-phase induction motors are used extensively for
smaller loads, such as household appliances like fans. Although traditionally used in fixed-speed
service, induction motors are increasingly being used with variable-frequency drives (VFDs) in
variable-speed service. VFDs offer especially important energy savings opportunities for existing
and prospective induction motors in variable-torque centrifugal fan, pump and compressor load
applications. Squirrel cage induction motors are very widely used in both fixed-speed and VFD
applications.
4.8.1 Operating principle
In both induction and synchronous motors, the AC power supplied to the motor's stator
creates a magnetic field that rotates in time with the AC oscillations. Whereas a synchronous
motor's rotor turns at the same rate as the stator field, an induction motor's rotor rotates at a slower
speed than the stator field. The induction motor stator's magnetic field is therefore changing or
rotating relative to the rotor. This induces an opposing current in the induction motor's rotor, in
effect the motor's secondary winding, when the latter is short-circuited or closed through an
external impedance.
The rotating magnetic flux induces currents in the windings of the rotor; in a manner similar
to currents induced in a transformer's secondary winding(s). The currents in the rotor windings in
turn create magnetic fields in the rotor that react against the stator field. Due to Lenz's Law, the
52
direction of the magnetic field created will be such as to oppose the change in current through the
rotor windings. The cause of induced current in the rotor windings is the rotating stator magnetic
field, so to oppose the change in rotor-winding currents the rotor will start to rotate in the direction
of the rotating stator magnetic field.
The rotor accelerates until the magnitude of induced rotor current and torque balances the
applied load. Since rotation at synchronous speed would result in no induced rotor current, an
induction motor always operates slower than synchronous speed. The difference, or "slip," between
actual and synchronous speed varies from about 0.5 to 5.0% for standard Design B torque curve
induction motors. The induction machine's essential character is that it is created solely by
induction instead of being separately excited as in synchronous or DC machines or being self-
magnetized as in permanent magnet motors. For rotor currents to be induced, the speed of the
physical rotor must be lower than that of the stator's rotating magnetic field (n_s), otherwise the
magnetic field would not be moving relative to the rotor conductors and no currents would be
induced. As the speed of the rotor drops below synchronous speed, the rotation rate of the magnetic
field in the rotor increases, inducing more current in the windings and creating more torque. The
ratio between the rotation rate of the magnetic field induced in the rotor and the rotation rate of the
stator's rotating field is called slip. Under load, the speed drops and the slip increases enough to
create sufficient torque to turn the load. For this reason, induction motors are sometimes referred to
as asynchronous motors. An induction motor can be used as an induction generator, or it can be
unrolled to form a linear induction motor which can directly generate linear motion.
4.8.2 Synchronous speed
An AC motor's synchronous speed, , is the rotation rate of the stator's magnetic field,
which is expressed in revolutions per minute as
(RPM),
where is the motor supply's frequency in hertz and is the number of magnetic poles. That is, for
a six-pole three-phase motor with three pole-pairs set 120° apart, equals 6 and equals 1,000
RPM and 1,200 RPM respectively for 50 Hz and 60 Hz supply systems.
52
direction of the magnetic field created will be such as to oppose the change in current through the
rotor windings. The cause of induced current in the rotor windings is the rotating stator magnetic
field, so to oppose the change in rotor-winding currents the rotor will start to rotate in the direction
of the rotating stator magnetic field.
The rotor accelerates until the magnitude of induced rotor current and torque balances the
applied load. Since rotation at synchronous speed would result in no induced rotor current, an
induction motor always operates slower than synchronous speed. The difference, or "slip," between
actual and synchronous speed varies from about 0.5 to 5.0% for standard Design B torque curve

ratio between the rotation rate of the magnetic field induced in the rotor and the rotation rate of the
stator's rotating field is called slip. Under load, the speed drops and the slip increases enough to

a six-pole three-phase motor with three pole-pairs set 120° apart, equals 6 and equals 1,000
RPM and 1,200 RPM respectively for 50 Hz and 60 Hz supply systems.

rotor windings. The cause of induced current in the rotor windings is the rotating stator magnetic

of the rotating stator magnetic field.

4.8.3 Slip
Slip, S, is defined as the difference between synchronous speed and operating speed, at the
same frequency, expressed in rpm or in percent or ratio of synchronous speed.
where n Ns is stator electrical speed, n_Nr is rotor mechanical speed. Slip, which varies from zero
at synchronous speed and 1 when the rotor is at rest, determines the motor's torque. Since the short-
circuited rotor windings have small resistance, a small slip induces a large current in the rotor and
produces large torque. At full rated load, slip varies from more than 5% for small or special
purpose motors to less than 1% for large motors. These speed variations can cause load-sharing
problems when differently sized motors are mechanically connected. Various methods are available
to reduce slip, VFDs often offering the best solution.
4.8.4 Construction
The stator of an induction motor consists of poles carrying supply current to induce a
magnetic field that penetrates the rotor. To optimize the distribution of the magnetic field, the
windings are distributed in slots around the stator, with the magnetic field having the same number
of north and south poles. Induction motors are most commonly run on single-phase or three-phase
power, but two-phase motors exist; in theory, induction motors can have any number of phases.
Many single-phase motors having two windings can be viewed as two-phase motors, since a
capacitor is used to generate a second power phase 90° from the single-phase supply and feeds it to
the second motor winding. Single-phase motors require some mechanism to produce a rotating field
on startup. Cage induction motor rotor's conductor bars are typically skewed to reduce noise.

4.8.5 Rotation reversal
The method of changing the direction of rotation of an induction motor depends on whether
it is a three-phase or single-phase machine. In the case of three phase, reversal is carried out by
swapping connection of any two phase conductors. In the case of a single-phase motor it is usually
achieved by changing the connection of a starting capacitor from one section of a motor winding to
the other. In this latter case both motor windings are similar (e.g. in washing machines).
4.8.6 Power factor
The power factor of induction motors varies with load, typically from around 0.85 or 0.90 at
full load to as low as 0.35 at no-load, due to stator and rotor leakage and magnetizing reactances.
Power factor can be improved by connecting capacitors either on an individual motor basis or, by
preference, on a common bus covering several motors. For economic and other considerations
power systems are rarely power factor corrected to unity power factor.[36] Power capacitor
application with harmonic currents requires power system analysis to avoid harmonic resonance
between capacitors and transformer and circuit reactances. Common bus power factor correction is
recommended to minimize resonant risk and to simplify power system analysis.
55
4.8.7 Efficiency
Full load motor efficiency varies from about 85 % to 97 %, related motor losses being broken down
roughly as follows:
Friction and windage, 5 % – 15 %
Iron or core losses, 15 % – 25 %
Stator losses, 25 % – 40 %
Rotor losses, 15 % – 25 %
Stray load losses, 10 % – 20 %
Various regulatory authorities in many countries have introduced and implemented legislation to
encourage the manufacture and use of higher efficiency electric motors. There is existing and
forthcoming legislation regarding the future mandatory use of premium-efficiency induction-type
motors in defined equipment.
4.9 CIRCUIT DIAGRAM
A full wave bridge rectifier converts single phase or three phase 50 Hz power from standardutility supply to either fixed or adjustable Dc voltage. Diode Bridge Rectifier One diagonal pair ofrectifier will allow power to pass through only when the voltage is positive. A second diagonal pairof rectifier will allow power to pass through only when the voltage is negative. So two diagnal pairof rectifiers are required for each phase of power.
Electric swithes-power transistor or thyristor switch the rectified DC on and off, and aproduce a current or voltage waveform at the desired new frequency. The final section of the VFDis referred to as an “inverter.” The inverter contains transistors that deliver power to the motor. The(MOSFET) is a common choice in modern VFDs.
The MOSFET can switch on and off several thousand times per second and precisely control thepower delivered to the motor. The IGBT uses a method named “pulse width modulation” (PWM) tosimulate a current sine wave at the desired frequency to the motor.
Motor speed (rpm) is dependent upon frequency. Varying the frequency output of the VFD controlsmotor speed: Speed (rpm) = frequency (hertz) x 120 / no. of poles.
An electronic circuit receives a feedback information from the driven motor and adjusts the outputvoltage or frequency to the selected values. Usually the output voltage is regulated to produce aconstant ratio of voltage to frequency (V/Hz). Controllers may incorporate many complex controlfunctions.
56
Converting DC to variable frequency AC is accomplished using an inverter. Most currentlyavailable inverters use pulse width modulation (PWM) because the output current waveformclosely approximates a sine wave. Power semiconductors switch DC voltage at high speed,producing a series of short-duration pulses of constant amplitude. Output voltage is varied bychanging the width and polarity of the switched pulses. Output frequency is adjusted by changingthe switching cycle time by using microcontroller.

RESULT AND CONCLUSION
5.1 RESULT
Thus, we can conveniently adjust the speed of a motor by changing the frequency applied to the
motor and keeping the number of poles constant. There is another way to change the speed of
the motor by changing the no. of poles, but this change would be a physical change to the
motor. As the drive provides the frequency and voltage of output necessary to change the speed
of a motor, this is done through Pulse Width Modulation Drives. Pulse width modulation
(PWM) inverter produces pulses of varying widths which are combined to build the required
waveform. As the frequency is variable as compared with the poles of the motor therefore
speed control drive is termed as Variable Frequency Drive (VFD).

All Variable Frequency Drives maintain the output voltage – to – frequency (V/f) ratio constant
at all speeds for the reason that follows. The phase voltage V, frequency f and the magnetic flux
Φ of the motor are related by the equation: V = 4.444 f NΦm
Or V/f = 4.444NΦm
where N = number of stator turns per phase. Φm = magnetic flux

5.2 CONCLUSION
Changing the electrical frequency of the supply voltage using the VFD will change the rotor
speed of the motor. Changing the electrical frequency will also require an adjustment to the
terminal voltage in order to maintain the amount of flux level in the motor core else the motor
will experience core saturation and excessive magnetization current. Thus after the study of
Variable Frequency Drive, it becomes possible to control the speed of electric motor as well as
to conserve the electrical energy, as it is known that energy conservation has become an
important subject all over the world. Increase in efficient energy use, decrease in energy
