Abstract
A series universal AC/DC motor is controlled by switching the phase angle of an AC signal with a triac power switch in response to a motor control providing a phase-locked loop velocity control. A speed command circuit provides a reference frequency corresponding to a selected motor speed. The reference frequency is compared to a feedback frequency representing actual motor speed. An error signal representing the phase difference between the reference and feedback frequencies is compared to a ramp signal produced by the AC power source, and a resulting trigger pulse is used to control the triac power switch, thereby regulating the speed of the motor.
