Abstract: This paper deals with the steady state performance analysis of an autotransformer based 24- pulse ac-dc converter feeding variable frequency vector controlled squirrel cage induction motor drives at different mechanical load and constant reference speed. These variable frequency induction motor drives are generally operated in vector controlled mode due to their inherent advantages. There are three new elements which are added in the proposed model, first is three single phase autotransformers for phase shifting of 3-phase supply, second one is 24-pulse converter to eliminate the harmonics injected to the source and third one is interphase transformers to ensure the independent operation of the rectifier circuits. The feedback closed loop control system is used to control the speed of the induction motor, which has highly nonlinear torque-speed characteristics. This simulation is done to analyse the parameters of ac electric drive in terms of settling time, steady state error and overshoot. The simulation results show that the speed control performance reduces the steady state error and maximum overshoot under different load conditions.
