Controlling a induction motor using a single phase induction motor controller

Controlling a induction motor using a single phase induction motor controller 


There are two ways of controlling the speed of a 230v induction motor

1. By varying the ac voltage 
2. By varying the line frequency 

In this method of controlling the ac motor ,we will be using a TRIAC which is fired by an UJT.

As the name suggests the TRIAC can conduct in both the directions controlled by a gate pulse.

The gate pulse is varied by a Uni Junction Transistor which has a property to generate pwm.The advantage of triggering with UJT is that it offers a regular off timw for the TRIAC to cool down and as a result the requirement of heat sink is reduced.

The firing of UJT is generated by varying the dc voltage at the base.But the convenience of easy firing scheme has a drwaback of low range of operation i.e. from ac 20v to 190v.
