Φ ~ Iμ ~ V/f
The torque M, developed by induction motors, is proportional to the product (precisely the
Vectorial product Φ x I) of flux and current.
M ~ Φ * I
In order to generate the highest possible torque from a given current, the motor must operate
with a constant flux which is as high as possible. In order to keep the flux Φ constant, when
frequency f changes, the voltage V must be changed in proportion so that a constant
magnetizing current Iμ flows. The V/f characteristic control is derived from these basic
principles.
