Review of solutions used in high speed induction motor drives operating in household appliances

The paper presents the high-speed induction motor drive as a alternative for household appliances. Short comparison was made between standard and high-speed motors. The solutions that use three-phase induction motors were given in consideration with different types of rotors: solid or squirrel cage. The assumed power of drive was up to 1 kW. As the power source, single-phase voltage source has been adopted, which was indirectly converted to a three-phase output voltages with the fundamental frequency up to 667 Hz.
