“…In recent years, the microprocessor technique has been applied to control the speed of ac and dc drives for obtaining high performance of the drive due to their fast, accurate, versatile, and diagnostic characteristics instead of traditional control scheme [5]. The applications of the microprocessor for the speed control of the drives are shown in papers [6][7][8][9][10]. The drive under investigation shown in fig.1 consists of a slip ring 3-phase induction motor, a 3-phase uncontrolled converter, a smoothing inductor, a 3-phase controlled converter and a 3-phase step up transformer.…”
