Split-phase induction motors are widely used in residential, commercial, and light industrial applications due to their simplicity and robustness. However, achieving precise speed control, high efficiency, and low harmonic distortion remains a challenge with conventional control methods. This study presents MotorSense, an advanced control framework for split-phase induction motors using cyclo-converters. By leveraging cyclo-converterbased variable voltage and frequency control, the system enables smooth and accurate motor operation across a wide range of speeds. The proposed techniques include optimized firing angle control, harmonic mitigation strategies, and dynamic load adaptation. Simulation and experimental results demonstrate significant improvements in speed regulation, torque performance, and power quality compared to traditional methods. The findings highlight the potential of cyclo-converter-based control to enhance motor efficiency, reliability, and operational flexibility in various practical applications.
