Several dynamic tests were performed to
investigate the validity of the proposed control
method. The experimental set-up used for the
practical investigation is shown in Fig.(8). The
induction motor under test is coupled to a self-
excited DC generator. The motor is energized from
an inverter bridge, which consists of six IGBTs in
conjunction with stepper circuits. The DC-link is
provided from three-phase bridge rectifier. An
incremental encoder is coupled to the motor shaft to
measure the motor speed. Actual stator currents are
measured using current sensors. The stator voltages
are sensed using voltage transducers. This system is (b) Electromagnetic torque.

installed on a PC computer. Fig. (7) System response for step change in load

A series of experimental results was carried
out to verify the validity of the proposed control
scheme for the drive system. The results were
obtained at different operating points. The results
were obtained at different operating points. First, the
drive system response was obtained at heavy load
and a speed below the base speed. Figure (9) shows
qs the motor speed response at 1200 rpm. The motor
started with almost no overshoot and follows its
command with nearly zero steady state error. The
motor phase currents are also shown in Fig. (9).
The response of the control system due to a
step change in speed command is shown in Fig. (10).
The speed command is changed from 120 rad/s to
ds 100 rad/s. It can be seen from Fig. (10) that the

reference value. Figure (11), show the motor
