There are many applications of AC electric drives where scalar control is required, and the use of speed sensors is impossible for technical or economic reasons. Most modern observers of the asynchronous motor speed are intended for electric drives with vector control and are based on solving differential equations using Kalman filters or an adaptive model of an asynchronous motor. The paper discusses a new approach to creating a speed observer, based on solving the algebraic equation of the induction motor mechanical characteristics. The change in the rotor speed of the motor under the influence of the load torque and the variation of the stator voltage is analyzed. A coefficient connecting the speed of an induction motor with voltage is introduced. It is shown that its value depends on the initial conditions and the moment of loading. The nonlinear relationship between the torque developed by the motor and the stator current is taken into account. As a result, the analytical relationship is found that connects the speed of an induction motor with the effective values of the stator voltage and current and the frequency of these values. An assessment of the adequacy of the obtained formula for calculating the induction motor speed in a scalar frequency control system is carried out. The results of field experiments are presented, which show that the maximum error in calculating the speed from the found analytical dependence does not exceed 4.3%. It is concluded that the use of the formula obtained is essential in the asynchronous motor speed observer of the electric drive with scalar control.</span></p>AC electric drivespeed observerinduction motorscalar frequency controlэлектропривод переменного токанаблюдатель скоростиасинхронный двигательскалярное частотное управление[Anuchin A.S.
