Performance Analysis of TRIAC and MPWM of AC Voltage Controller Fed Capacitor Run Induction Motor

Abstract

Single phase capacitor run induction motor is necessary to operate meritoriously and enhance the power quality. AC voltage controller is utilized effectively for controlling the speed of the motor. It employs conventional TRIAC and sinusoidal pulse width modulation control. The performance parameters are total harmonic distortion, input power factor and efficiency are the main concern. The comparative analysis of the two methods was simulated using MATLAB Simulink platform. Speed control of capacitor run induction motor used in domestic and industrial applications.
