Bidirectional VF Control of Single and 3-Phase Induction Motors Using the PIC16F72

From Microchip Technology, Inc.
 

 
Single-phase induction motors are extensively used in appliances and industrial controls. The Permanent Split Capacitor (PSC) single-phase induction motor is the simplest and most widely used motor of this type. By design, PSC motors are unidirectional, which means they are designed to rotate in one direction. By adding either extra windings, and external relays and switches, or by using gear mechanisms, the direction of rotation can be changed. In this application note we will discuss in detail, how to control the speed of a PSC motor in both directions using a PIC16F72 microcontroller and power electronics.
