Abstract

A transformer-based, purely sinusoidal, energy-saving controller for induction motors is presented. The controller applies a three-phase transformer in a reconfigurable scheme to create three different voltages. A simple control scheme is then applied to set the "right voltage" to supply the motor. Significant reductions in the real and reactive power consumption were noticed, especially in motors operated under low load.
