Abstract
A rotation speed search apparatus for an induction motor includes: a voltage control unit for comparing a rated current of a motor and a current detected from the motor and generating an output voltage; and a frequency control unit for comparing a reference excitation current of the motor and an excitation current detected from the motor and generating an output frequency. In case of a big load, an output frequency is reduced. Thus, the slip of the motor is moved to a slip where a maximum torque is generated to enable the induction motor to start. If the speed of the motor in operation is greater than a target frequency, an output frequency is increased, so that the motor can be operated even in the regenerative region of the motor.
