The Vectorial Torque Control algorithm is applied in order to impose the re-adhesion trajectory in an induction motor drive for traction purposes. It allows to achieve a very strong anti-skidding action assuring, at the same time, low stress for the mechanical parts. The efficacy of the proposed control strategy has been validated by an experiment. Several skid effects have been achieved by means of an high dynamic performance hysteresis brake assembled on the controlled motor shaft, which allows to impose any load torque profile. The results obtained by the experiment fully confirm the validity of the proposed control strategy.
