Abstract
An apparatus and method for controlling an induction motor having a variable frequency drive in a blower system so that the blower system provides a specific fluid flow. A start-up program causes the motor to ramp up to approximately a predetermined steady state speed. A required blower torque is calculated by operating on a table of blower constants, a selected flow rate and a motor speed which is read from a speed sensor in the motor/blower system. A developed motor torque is calculated by operating on a table of motor specific constants, a voltage-frequency index and the motor speed taken from the speed sensor. The calculated required blower torque is repeatedly compared with the calculated developed motor torque. The voltage-frequency index to the variable frequency drive is modified to force the developed motor torque to converge with the required blower torque in a steady state.
