Induction motors are being used in greater numbers throughout a wide variety of industrial and commercial applications because it provides many benefits and reliable device to convert the electrical energy into mechanical motion. In some applications, it’s desired to control the speed of the induction motor. In recent years, with the microcontroller incorporated into an appliance, it becomes possible to use it to generate the variable frequency AC voltage to control the speed of the induction motor. This study investigates the microcontroller based variable frequency power inverter. The microcontroller provides the variable frequency pulse width modulation (PWM) signal that controls the applied voltage on the gate drive, which provides the required PWM frequency with fewer harmonic at the output of the power inverter. The fully controlled bridge voltage source inverter has been implemented with semiconductors power devices isolated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT), and the PWM technique has been employed in this inverter to supply the motor with AC voltage. From the result, a stable variable frequency inverter over wide range has been obtained.
