VI. CONCLUSION
This paper presented a new V/F control of
induction motor through D-Space fed by voltage
source inverter based on V/F control. Speed is
controlled by interfacing of D-Space. The validity of
speed control method were verified from the

verified that the speed control through D-Space is
very efficient compare to microcontroller.
