 Introduction
A three phase Induction motor is basically a constant
speed motor.
It is widely used in industry due to low cost and
rugged construction.
The speed control of induction motor is done at the
cost decrease in efficiency and low electrical power
factor.

 Requirement of speed control of Induction
motor
Drive speed as desired by the process to maintain
different process.
Energy saving.
Low speed starting requirement.
Speed control either done by manually or automatic
control drive

 Methods to Control the speed of Induction
Motor
Stator voltage control method.
Stator frequency control method.
Stator current control method.
Static rotor resistance control method.
Variable Frequency control method.

5/4/17
Stator voltage control method.
A large change in supply voltage
is required for relatively small
change in speed .
This method is easiest and
cheapest but rarely use.
Stator current control method.
Its independent of supply
frequency
It is independent of rotor
resistance.
5/4/17
Stator frequency control method.
synchronous speed
changes with change in
supply frequency and the
running speed also changes
This method is use only in
induction motor is supplied
generator.
Static rotor resistance control
method.
Reduces the efficiency at low
speeds,
Speed changes very widely with
load variation
 Why VFD?

Variable frequency drives are used extensively in

industries because they reduce energy consumption and
energy costs, extend equipment life and reduce.
Maintenance cost and provide a tight process control.

 Variable Frequency Drive Method
In this method, V/f ratio remains constant which leads to
constant flux.
Thus maximum torque is constant in this case.
Other advantages are Power factor at starting is improved.
The voltage and frequency achieve their rated values and
acceleration and deceleration of the motor can be
controlled by controlling the change of supply frequency.

 EXPERIMENTATION

The main purpose of this Project is to control the speed of

a three phase induction motor using VFD through PLC.

The most cost effective and smallest drives which in a

compact and space saving design provide a powerful
motor speed control.

 Advantages of Ac drives
AC drives are less expensive.
AC drive require low maintenance.
Save more energy.
Provides low speed motor starting facility.
Lighter in weight as compared to DC drive.

5/4/17
 Disadvantages of Ac drives
Power converter for AC drives are more expensive.
Power converters for the control of AC motors are
more complex.
It generate harmonics in the supply system and load
circuit.

Conclusion
The present work describe a mechanism to monitor VFD
by PLC.
Speed of the motor can be controlled then wherever there
is use of three phase induction motor its speed can be
controlled.
A 3-phase induction motor was take for a experimental set
up offer various control modes of motor experiments.

Future Scope

RFID using Embedded program interface with PLC to

control the machine in the control room.
The operator will show the ID card to the RFID reader the
entire equipment will be turn on.
Any problem occur in the machine the controller will
indicate to the operator.
