The document discusses simulating the torque-speed characteristics of a 4 pole, 50 Hz induction motor. It first simulates the characteristics with linear V/f control from 1-50 Hz, showing decreasing maximum torque at low frequencies. It then calculates the required voltages to maintain the 50 Hz maximum torque at lower frequencies. Finally, it approximates these voltages with fixed and variable boost voltage control and simulates the corresponding torque-speed characteristics.

• Maximum torque is getting decreased when moving from high to low frequencies when we
set linear 𝑉 ⁄𝑓 from rated frequency down to zero.

2. In order to retain the maximum torque as at rated frequency, compute the required
new voltage for each frequency in (1) above. Show the computed voltages in a graph
against frequency.
Maximum torque (Tm) is given by,

𝒑 𝟑𝑽𝟐𝒆
𝑻𝒎 = ( )
𝟐𝝎𝒔 𝒓𝒆 + √𝒓𝟐𝒆 + (𝒙𝒆 + 𝒙′𝟐 )𝟐
𝑙𝑚
Where 𝑉𝑒 = 𝑘𝑉1, 𝑟𝑒 = 𝑘𝑟1 and 𝑥𝑒 = 𝑘𝑥1 . And 𝑘 = .
𝑙1 +𝑙𝑚

400
So by substituting 𝑉1 = and 𝜔𝑠 = 2𝜋𝑓 we can get the maximum torque for the 50Hz .
√3

We can find the phase voltage for each frequency, when its maximum torque is the maximum
torque at 50Hz (i.e. 166.5291 Nm) from the above equation.

Maximum torque obtained from the previous plot at rated frequency (50Hz) = 166.5291 Nm

Fixed Boost Plan
The maximum torque at lower frequencies (1-5 Hz) have increased, and they are relatively
closer to the maximum torque at rated frequency. This behavior is due to the initial voltage
boost given.
Variable Boost Plan
The maximum torque at lower frequencies (1-5 Hz) have increased, and they are relatively
higher than the maximum torque at rated frequency. This behavior is due to there’s a
considerable deviation of the applied voltage in variable boost plan than which we computed
in part 2 v/f variation
