Abstract

This paper presents a platform for illustrating the speed- torque characteristics of a vector controlled three-phase induction motor. The methodology is based on acquiring the estimated torque and actual speed of a three-phase induction motor and plotting the speed-torque characteristic in real time. The platform contains a graphic interface to drive the motor and acquire the data, an induction motor, an AC drive, a communication protocol between the computer and the AC drive, and a loading system for the motor based on the claw pole alternator. LabVIEW has been used for designing the control interface. This control interface includes speed adjustment, stop command, direction of rotation, and drawing the speed-torque characteristic in real time to make the student able to notice the performance of the induction motor in the vector control mode.
