INTRODUCTION
Three phase Induction motors are simple,rugged,low cost and easy to maintain. They run at essentially constant speed from zero to full load.Therefore they are the most frequently encountered in the industry A 3-phase induction motor has two main parts: A stator consisting of a steel frame that supports a hollow,cylindrical core of stacked laminations. Slots on the internal circumference of the stator house the stator winding. A rotor also composed of punched laminations, with rotor slots for the rotor winding.
OPERATING PRINCIPLE
Operation of 3-phase induction motors is based upon the application of Faradays Law and the Lorentz Force on a conductor. Consider a series of conductors (length L) whose extremities are shorted by bars A and B. A permanent magnet moves at a speed v,so that its magnetic field sweeps across the conductors. Now,close the ladder upon itself to form a squirrel cage, and place it in a rotating magnetic field .This is an Induction Motor.
OPERATING PRINCIPLE
The following sequence of events takes place: 1. A voltage E = BLv is induced in each conductor while it is being cut by the flux (Faradays Law). The induced voltage produces currents which circulate in a loop around the conductors (through the bars). Since the current-carrying conductors lie in a magnetic field, they experience a mechanical force (Lorentz force).

The force always acts in a direction to drag the conductor along with the magnetic field.

Locked rotor: When the rotor is stationary, the field rotates at a frequency (relative to the rotor) equal to the supply frequency. This induces a large voltage hence large currents flow within the rotor, producing a strong torque. Acceleration: When released, the rotor accelerates rapidly. As speed increases, the relative frequency of the magnetic field decreases. Therefore, the induced voltages and currents fall rapidly as the motor accelerates. Synchronous speed: The relative frequency of the rotating field is zero, so the induced currents and voltages are also zero. Therefore, the torque is zero too. It follows, that induction motors are unable to reach synchronous speed due to losses such as friction. Motor under load: The motor speed decreases until the relative frequency is large enough to generate sufficient.

The induced torque is zero at synchronous speed. Discussed earlier. The curve is nearly linear between no-load and full load. In this range, the rotor resistance is much greater than the reactance, so the rotor current, torque increase linearly with the slip. There is a maximum possible torque that cant be exceeded. This torque is called pullout torque and is 2 to 3 times the rated fullload torque. The starting torque of the motor is slightly higher than its fullload torque, so the motor will start carrying any load it can supply at full load. The torque of the motor for a given slip varies as the square of the applied voltage. If the rotor is driven faster than synchronous speed it will run as a generator, converting mechanical power to electric power.
GENERATING MODE:S<0
Negative slip implies rotor running at super-synchronous speed.
BRAKING MODE:S>1
The motor runs in opposite direction to the rotating field,absorbing mechanical power which is dissipated as heat in the rotor copper

INVERTERS
An inverter is an electrical device that converts direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC) There are 2 modes of operation in a three phase inverter:
18o degree
120 degree
Stator currents are resolved into two orthogonal components which produce the flux and the torque in the motor.
METHOD OF DTC..
Stator flux linkage is estimated by integrating the stator voltages. Torque is estimated as a cross product of estimated stator flux linkage vector and measured motor current vector. The estimated flux magnitude and torque are then compared with their reference values. If either the estimated flux or torque deviates from the reference more than allowed tolerance, the transistors of the variable frequency drive are turned off and on in such a way that the flux and torque will return in their tolerance bands as fast as possible Thus direct torque control is one form of the hysteresis control. The direct torque method performs very well even without speed sensors.

Inaccurate stator flux estimations which can degrade the drive performance. The inaccurate flux approximation can be avoided by using a low pass filter instead of using an integrator because of which the problem of drift arises.
A Voltage Source Inverter can assume only eight distinct topologies. Six out of eight topologies produce a non-zero output voltage and are known as zero switching states.
Topologies
Similarly the six non-zero voltage vectors (V1 - V6) can be shown to assume the positions . The tips of these vectors form regular hexagon.
These last two topologies are represented as vectors which have zero magnitude and hence are referred to as zero-switching state vectors or zero voltage vectors. The vectors V1-V8 are called the switching state vectors.
The desired three phase voltages at the output of the inverter could be represented by an equivalent vector V rotating in the counter clock wise direction. The magnitude of this vector is related to the magnitude of the output voltage.
