The control method of discrete frequency softstarter for three-phase induction motor is studied. The optimal combination pattern of the three-phase current supply system that can make motor start with a high torque and a small current is selected from all kinds of combination three-phase supply systems in the three-phase circuit symmetrical component method. Based on theoretical analyses and simulation techniques, we have completed the experiment of the high torque softstarter with 80C196KC as micro-computer. The experiment proves that the softstarter based on discrete frequency theory can sta...
