The application relates to the field of asynchronous
motor control, in particular to a method for calculating the
rotor time constant of an asynchronous motor driven by a frequency converter, which comprises the following steps: during the operation of the asynchronous motor, the three-phase
voltage value and the three-phase current value of the asynchronous motor are sampled, and a
voltage-current initial model is established according to the sampling results. The
voltage equation of the asynchronous motor and the indirect
magnetic field oriented
vector control equation are used to perform Clark transformation on the voltage-current initial model, so that an adjustable model is obtained, the adjustable model is a model containing the
rotor time constant and not containing the
stator resistance; the error between the voltage-current initial model and the adjustable model is calculated, the error is adjusted by using proportional integral, and the
rotor time constant of the asynchronous motor is obtained. The obtained result has better real-time effectiveness, avoids the precision error caused by factors such as temperature fluctuation and
voltage fluctuation generated during the operation of the motor, and is also effective in the working scene of low-speed
light load of the asynchronous motor.
