Question

In V/F control of a 3-phase induction motor, if voltage is increased by 10%, in order to keep air gap flux constant, what is the % increment or decrement in frequency?

A.

Frequency is decreased by 10%

B.

Frequency is decreased by 20%

C.

Frequency is increased by 10%

D.

Frequency is increased by 20%

Correct option is C

In V/F (Voltage/Frequency) control of a 3-phase induction motor, the ratio of voltage to frequency (V/F) is maintained constant to keep the air gap flux constant. If the voltage is increased by a certain percentage, the frequency must also be increased by the same percentage to maintain the constant V/F ratio.
E∝V
Φ ∝ Bmax ∝ V/f
Flux ∝Im
To maintain magnetizing current constant, if frequency is reduced by 10%, then voltage also to be reduced by 10%.
