Abstract- This paper is intended to provide a novel and
simpler way of speed control three phase induction
motor using simultaneous The wide range control
technique of three speed of induction motor has
presented. With this technique the speed control is
obtained by changing speed using simultaneous control
of frequency and the three voltages which are spaced
by 120o with respect to each other at all frequency. The
variable frequency drive works principle, it's the
electronic controller specifically designed to change the
frequency and control signal voltage supplied to the
controller and thereby the stator of three phase
induction motor.

I.INTRODUCTION
Variable frequency drives (VFD) can control the
speed of an induction motor by converting fixed
frequency and fixed voltage magnitude to variable
frequency and variable voltage magnitude at motor
terminals, and thus, provide significantly improved
process control, energy saving, and soft motor
starting. The common VFD structure comprises of an
AC/DC rectifier, a dc link, inverter, additional
control and protection circuits. The dominant type of
VFDs is the pulse-width-modulation (PWM)-
controlled voltage source inverter type [1]. t. As
complex non-linear power electronics equipment,
VFDs are more sensitive to voltage sags than older
mechanical systems. The control and protection
circuits in VFDs could disconnect the drives to
protect their components during large voltage sags
[1]. The sensitivity of VFDs to voltage sags are
affected by many factors such as voltage sag types,
loading and operating condition of the drives,
threshold settings in the protection of the drives, and
the control method etc [2]. Most drives will trip when
voltage sags are below certain values. However,
when the drives are able to ride-through voltage sags
and remain in service .industrial facilities is required
for power systems dynamic studies. In this paper, a
generic dynamic modeling technique for VFD-motor
systems able to ride through power system
disturbances is proposed.
The wide variety of settings, operating modes, and
operating conditions of a VFD compound the
challenges involved in characterizing motor-VFD
systems. One area of interest in terms of application
is operation of VFDs under voltage unbalance. VFDs,
like other power equipment, are often subjected to
voltage quality issues that are inherent in industrial
power supply systems. Unbalanced voltage operation
has been well covered in literature for sinusoidal
powered induction machines. References such as [3]-
[8] have discussed the subject of unbalanced voltage
operation of VFDs.
II. IGBT
In the low power field where the MOSFET plays the
major role, the switching frequency is normally
subject to system efficiency and/or magnetic
considerations instead of device limitations. In the
medium power field, where the IGBT plays the major
role, the situation changes. At the lower end, the
limitation of the device does not dominate since the
lower-rating IGBT is normally fast enough.
However, when the power rating is higher, the IGBT
switching speed decreases and the switching losses
increase significantly. The practical switching
frequency is thus subject to the limitation of the
device.
