This study presents a novel online, accurate and simple model‐based maximum torque per ampere (MTPA) strategy for input–output feedback linearisation control of induction motor (IM) drives. Despite conventional MTPA control principles which are under the assumption of iron loss neglecting, the proposed strategy takes iron loss effect into account. This study highlights the iron loss influence on MTPA scheme. Firstly, the cross‐coupling effects in the IM model and torque non‐linearity due to the iron loss in torque–speed characteristics of the IM are discussed. The criterion for the MTPA scheme is then introduced and investigated by gradient approach so that when the gradient vectors of the torque and stator current magnitude are parallel, the MTPA strategy is satisfied. Finally, to confirm the validity of the proposed control scheme, experiments are carried out.
