Induction motor—Operation from 50/60 Hz supply
Abstract
The essentially constant speed property of the utility-fed induction motor has not prevented it from becoming the workhorse of industry, so this chapter rightly covers this important application area. We look at starting methods; the influence of rotor parameters on the torque-speed curve; braking methods; generating mode; methods of achieving some measure of speed control; energy optimisation; and single-phase motors.
