Abstract: This paper presents a power factor correction (PFC) Luo converter fed induction motor drive. A single voltage sensor is used for the speed control of induction motor and PFC at AC mains. The voltage follower control is used for a Luo converter operating in discontinuous inductor current mode (DICM). The speed of the induction motor is controlled by an approach of variable DC link voltage, which allows a low frequency switching of voltage source inverter (VSI) thus offers reduced switching losses. The proposed induction motor drive of 5 hp is designed to operate over a wide range of speed control with an improved power quality at AC mains. Active power factor correction is done in the proposed system. Simulation of proposed system is done using MATLAB simulink and power quality indices are measured.
