Implementation of Boost Converter Fed Induction Motor Drive

This paper presents the simulation of boost converter fed induction motor drive using Matlab / Simulink. The proposed induction motor drive model employs seven switches and incorporates an active current shaping feature. The boost converter at the input can give the required voltage at the input of the inverter and performs power factor correc- tion. The proposed system of experimental model was implemented. The drive works satisfactorily at low input voltage since the boost converter maintains required voltage. The experimental results closely agree with the simulation results.
