Abstract

Single-phase induction motors are widely used in fractional power applications such as fans, refrigerators and air conditioners. An improvement in its performance means a great saving in electrical energy.The motor can be operated at constant speed or controlled by ON/OFF strategy which results in poor performance and low power factor.An inverter-fed variable frequency motor is a typical example of such improvement. Nowadays, a direct AC-to-AC converter commonly termed as Matrix Converter has a simple structure and many attractive features. These converters have the characteristics such as four quadrant operation, unity input power factor, no dc-link capacitor and high quality voltage/current waveforms. Matrix Converters are replacing the conventional Voltage Source Inverters. In this regard, this paper presents a comprehensive analysis of the performance of the single-phase induction motor when it is fed with single phase inverters and matrix converters. Sinusoidal Pulse Width Modulation (SPWM) technique is used to generate the firing pulses for power switches of the inverter and matrix converter. Simulations were done using MATLAB/Simulink software package and the results were analyzed and presented.
