Abstract: A three-phase regenerative drive configured for operation from a single phase alternating current (AC) power source, the three-phase regenerative drive including a three-phase converter having inputs for connection to a single-phase AC source, the three-phase converter having three phase legs, a three-phase inverter for connection to a motor, the three phase inverter configured to provide three phase command signals to the motor, and a DC bus connected between the three-phase converter and the three-phase inverter. A first phase leg of the three-phase converter and a second phase leg of the three-phase converter are employed to direct current from the single-phase AC source to the DC Bus and a third phase leg of the three phase legs of the three-phase converter returns current to a return of the AC source.

Abstract: A system for an elevator includes at least one battery and an energy exchanger coupled to the at least one battery and configured to let a DC bus float between a first voltage and a second voltage. An energy storage device is coupled to the energy exchanger. The energy storage device is configured to recapture energy that is not recaptured by the at least one battery during a run of the elevator. The energy storage device is also configured to provide energy to the elevator when demand for energy by the elevator exceeds a threshold.

Abstract: A three-phase regenerative drive employing multiple converter pulse width modulation (PWM) strategies. The drive includes a three-phase converter having inputs for connection to a three-phase AC source, the three-phase converter having three phase legs, a DC bus operably connected to the three-phase converter wherein the three phase converter is configured to direct current from the three-phase AC source to the DC bus, and a three-phase inverter operably connected to the DC bus and a motor, the three phase inverter configured to draw current from the DC bus and provide three phase command signals to the motor. The three-phase converter employs a first PWM strategy to supply current to the DC bus, and the converter employs a second PWM strategy to supply current to the DC bus if a total current in the three phase legs exceeds a selected threshold.
