In a current type GTO inverter, commutation surge voltage is inevitably generated from an inductive load whenever each GTO is turned off. The commutation surge voltage thus generated is once stored in a capacitor (C,) through a diode surge voltage rectifier (5) and then restored or regenerated to the DC sourceterminals (3A, 3B) of the GTO bridge-connected inverter (3) through a pair of other GOTs (G 7 , G.) turned on only when the capacitor voltage exceeds a predetermined value beyond the DC source voltage. After energy restoration, magnetic energy stored in a reactor (Lr,, Lr 2 ) is recharged in the same capacitor (C 1 ). The necessary elements are a capacitor (C 1 ), two GTOs (G 7 , G 8 ), two diodes (D 8 , D 9 ) and a DC reactor (7), thus simplifying the circuit configuration and reducing the cost. Additionally, since no vibration circuits to turn off thyristors for restoring the energy charged in the capacitor (C 1 ) to the GTO bridge-connected (3) inverter are required, the circuit operation is stable at higher frequency range, in particular.
摘要:
If the thyristor switching devices of a chopper controlled inverter are normally motor-commutated during running operation, a starting system is needed to initially rotate the motor fast enough to develop a sufficient back EMF in the motor for motor commutation to occur. This is achieved by regulating the operation of the chopper (16) to produce bus current pulses and by gating the thyristors (31-36) on in predetermined sets and in a prescribed sequence to current pulse energize the motor (41) to effect step-by-step rotation thereof, namely to crank or turn the motor one step at a time. After a set of conducting thyristors have supplied a bus current pulse to the motor, the reactive energy that builds up and becomes locked or stored in the inductances (such as the motor inductance), through which the motor current flows, must be dissipated in order to commutate the conducting thyristors off and reduce the motor current to zero before the next set of thyristors are turned on. The required energy dissipation is accomplished by a circuit path which is effective during the intervals between the bus current pulses from the chopper. A d-c voltage source, which may comprise a resistor (53) and a parallel connected capacitor (54), in the circuit path causes the reactive energy to be rapidly absorbed, thereby minimizing the decay time of the motor current to zero at the termination of each current pulse to permit faster turn on of the next set of thyristors and consequently faster starting. Once the motor has reached a speed sufficiently high to permit motor commutation to occur, an SCR is gated on to by-pass the d-c voltage source and provide a low loss free-wheeling path for reactive energy during running operation of the system.
