Abstract
Abstract An asynchronous motor is supplied with power from an AC line voltage via a variable speed drive including a rectifier bridge connected to the AC line voltage, a DC voltage intermediate circuit including a capacitor and an inverter including switches and connected to the phase windings of the motor. A system for controlling the power supply to the motor includes a device for controlled resumption of motor speed after supply of power to the motor is interrupted.
