Title: Development of Single Phase Induction Motor Adjustable Speed Control Using
Microcontroller

This study investigates the performance of single-phase induction motor using microcontroller.
Description
The microcontroller senses the speed’s feedback signal and consequently provides the pulse
of project
with expected width variation signal that sets the gate voltage of the chopper, which in turn provides the
outcomes : required voltage for the desired speed. A Buck chopper has been used to control the input
voltage of a fully controlled single phase isolated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) bridge
inverter. PWM technique has been employed in this inverter to supply the motor with ac
voltage. The proposed drive system is simulated using Matlab/Simulink.Its results were
compared with the hardware experimental results. The simulation and laboratory results
proved that the drive system can be used for the speed control of a single-phase induction
motor with wide speed range.
