Abstract An Apparatus for controlling the speed of an induction motor is disclosed wherein a voltage is applied to the motor according to a difference signal between a signal corresponding to the speed of a load and a preset speed command signal, thereby causing the motor to produce a rotating torque corresponding to the difference signal. When the load is driven at a maximum speed, a rated voltage is applied to the motor. The apparatus comprises a device capable of presetting, prior to decelerating the load, a signal necessary to allow the motor to produce a rotating torque corresponding to the load. At the beginning of the load deceleration, a voltage corresponding to the preset signal of the device is applied to the motor.
Apparatus for controlling the speed of an induction motor comprising: means for generating a preset command signal corresponding to the desired speed of the motor; means for generating a first signal corresponding to the speed of the load of the motor; means for generating a difference signal corresponding to the difference between the first signal and the preset command signal; means for applying the difference signal to the motor to cause the motor to produce a rotating torque corresponding to the difference signal; means for applying a rated voltage to the motor when the load is driven at its maximum speed; means for presetting, prior to the deceleration of the load, a second signal corresponding to the load torque of the motor; means for applying the second signal to the motor at the beginning of the deceleration of the load to prevent a discontinuity in the rotating torque of the motor during the time the motor is decelerated from its maximum speed.
