AC Motor Speed Controller Circuit

This circuit uses a triac to control the speed of small household motors like drill machines by varying the phase of the trigger pulse to the triac. It incorporates self-stabilization so that the motor's speed remains steady even under varying loads by adjusting the triac firing point based on the motor's counter electromotive force. The speed is set using a potentiometer, and the circuit maintains speed stability both when slowing down under load and speeding up if the load is removed.

AC Motor Speed Controller Circuit

This triac-based 220V AC motor speed controller circuit is designed for controlling the
speed of small household motors like drill machines. The speed of the motor can be
controlled by changing the setting of P1. The setting of P1 determines the phase of the
trigger pulse that fires the triac. The circuit incorporates a self-stabilizing technique that
maintains the speed of the motor even when it is loaded.

220VAC Motor Speed Controller Schematic

For example, when the motor of the drill machine is slowed down by the resistance of the
drilled object, the counter-EMF of the motor also decreases. This results to a voltage
increase in R2-P1 and C3 causing the triac to be triggered earlier and the speed increases
accordingly.
