ABSTRACT:
A variable frequency adjustable speed motor drive allows restart of a spinning induction motor by initially increasing the frequency of the associated inverter while keeping the DC voltage source thereof low, then by decreasing the frequency of the inverter while monitoring the effective motor impedance V.sub.DC /I.sub.DC or V.sub.AC /I.sub.AC until the latter jumps at an initial level indicating matching of the frequency with the motor spinning speed. Thereafter, the DC voltage is restored in magnitude and the inverter is increased in frequency to match the desired motor speed.
