Abstract: Problems and perspectives of single-phase PWM adjustable speed drives (ASDs) for low-power three-phase induction motors are investigated. Their positive impact on energy saving in large-scale residential house appliances and in small industrial settings is underlined. The problem of the generation of current harmonic components, both on the supply-side and on the motor-side, is analyzed and different practical possibilities for bringing back the problem within acceptable limits are focused. After briefly recalling the state of art for passive and active power factor correctors (PFCs) for single-phase power electronic converters, firstly, an innovative passive approach recently introduced in the specialized literature to correct the power factor (PF) of single-phase low-power PWM ASDs is recalled. Then, a different passive approach, already introduced by the Author for correcting the PF of conventional high-power three-phase PWM ASDs, is specifically extended to low!
-power single-phase PWM ASDs. Criteria for designing aforementioned passive PFCs are presented and a lot of numerical simulations performed by using Pspice, under different working conditions of the motor, are utilized for underlining strengths and weaknesses of considered PFCs.
Keywords: Adjustable speed drives, Single-phase to three-phase converters, Power factor correctors, Harmonics, Interharmonics.
