This paper describes the speed-sensorless vector control system of a three-phase induction motor using sliding mode flux/speed observer. The sliding mode observer estimates the rotor speed. The error between the actual and observed currents converges to zero which guarantees the accuracy of the flux observer. The convergence of nonlinear time-varying observer along with the asymptotic stability of the controller was analyzed. To define the control action which maintains the motion on the sliding manifold, an "equivalent control" concept was used. It was simulated and implemented on a sensorless indirect vector drive for 750[W] three-phase induction motor. The simulation and experimental results demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed estimation method.
