DESIGN AND SIMULATION OF SOLAR POWERED B�4 INVERTER FOR INDUCTION MOTOR

S. Vivekanandan, P. Kamalakannan

Abstract :

In this paper solar powered B–4 inverter for induction motor is presented. The speed of an induction motor is controlled by three phase inverter normally have six switches. Instead of using six switches the performance of induction motor is realized by four switch three phase inverter (FSTPI). This reduces the switching losses, cost of the system and complexity of generating six PWM pulses. The inverter is supplied by solar power. A simulation model of the drive system is developed in PSIM and analyzed in order to verify the effectiveness of the approach.
