A new dual stator winding induction machine drive is described in this paper. The proposed consists of a standard squirrel-cage rotor and with two separate windings wound for dissimilar number poles. Each fed from an independent variable-frequency variable-voltage inverter. offers such advantages as speed sensorless operation, better reliability, more flexibility to manipulate the resultant torque-speed curve motor. In drive, zero-speed operation achieved by independently controlling sets...
