THE PURPOSE. To investigate the existing methods of frequency control and their influence on the characteristics of the asynchronous motor, including the energy parameters. Consider new circuit solutions of the control type under study. Create a mathematical model of each of the methods of frequency control. To analyze the results obtained from the point of view of the behavior of mechanical, electromechanical and energy components. METHODS. When solving this problem, the method of computer simulation modeling, implemented by means of Matlab Simulink, was used. RESULTS. In this paper, various aspects of electric drive systems based on asynchronous motors with the use of cascade switching are studied and described, existing connection schemes for such systems are analyzed, and several new options with improved characteristics are proposed. A comparative analysis of various connection schemes is made, the most interesting results of such analysis are presented, and conclusions are drawn about the future prospects of certain circuit solutions.Electric drive systems were modeled in the Simulink MATLAB environment using software tools to demonstrate the operation parameters of the considered circuits. CONCLUSION. Various schemes for switching on the asynchronous motor in the Simulink Matlab environment were investigated. The results of the study revealed the potential usefulness of using a circuit with a transformer in the rotor circuit, as well as the construction of a multi-motor electric drive with a common transformer and a common frequency converter circuit. The efficiency of parallel connection of rotary circuits of a two-motor electric drive was demonstrated. The methods of returning the sliding energy to the network are also compared, and their effectiveness in a comparative analysis with the operation in the closed-loop rotor mode is demonstrated
