Control device for induction motor

An induction motor control comprising:

• a power conversion circuit for generating a variable voltage variable frequency AC primary voltage for driving an induction motor;
• a current sensor for sensing a primary current supplied from said power conversion circuit to the induction motor;
• a current component calculation circuit for calculating first and second current components from the primary current and a frequency command value of the AC primary voltage;
• a magnetic flux command calculation circuit for calculating a magnetic flux command value such that an amplitude ratio between squared values of the first and second current components has a preset value, and a magnetic flux differentiation command value based on differentiation of the magnetic flux command value;
• a voltage component command calculation circuit for calculating a primary voltage component command value from the frequency command value, the magnetic flux command value, and the magnetic flux differentiation command value;
• and
• a primary voltage command calculation circuit for calculating a primary voltage command value for the induction motor from the frequency command value and the primary voltage command value and for providing the primary voltage command value calculated to said power conversion circuit wherein said current component calculation circuit calculates first and second current components in phase and 90° out of phase with the primary voltage component command value, respectively.
