Design Of Maximum Torque Per Ampere Control Method In Squirrel Cage Three-Phase Induction Motor

Abstract

Improving the performance of three-phase induction motors is currently carried out by various control methods. One of them is controlling a three-phase induction motor using the Maximum Torque Per Ampere (MTPA) method. This paper focuses on the study of modeling specific motor models using the MTPA method. The purpose of the study is to prove that with the squirrel cage motor model, the speed can be increased above its rating. The MTPA method is a method of controlling a three-phase induction motor by controlling the current from the torque speed. Modeling is tested to see the responsiveness of the modeled system. The experimental results were tested using two-speed references and the system showed that MTPA control induction motors can improve the performance of three-phase induction motors. The results from the design show that the MTPA method can increase the performance of three-phase induction motors to reach 84.4%. The results of this study can be used as one way to model induction motors.
