Abstract: For open loop phase pre-charge, an apparatus includes a Switching Mode Power Supply (SMPS) charging diode and a charge generator. The SMPS charging diode pre-charges an SMPS to a regulation set point from at least one phase of an Alternating Current (AC) voltage. The charge generator is powered by the pre-charged SMPS. In response to detecting the regulation set point iteratively, the charge generator detects a specified phase angle of the AC voltage. In response to the specified phase angle, the charge generator iteratively generates a charging voltage during positive voltage interval that charges a Direct Current (DC) bus capacitor to a target DC bus voltage within a charging time interval. At least a portion of the charge generator comprises one or more of hardware and executable code, the executable code stored on one or more computer readable storage media.

Abstract: A motor drive configured to be connected to an external device is provided. The motor drive includes an outer housing, a power module housed within the outer housing, and a control module housed within the outer housing and in communication with the power module. The motor drive also includes a communications port disposed on the outer housing and in communication with the control module. The communications port supports dual-role power in which the motor drive powers the external device when the external device is of a first type and the motor drive receives power from the external device when the external device is of a second type.

Abstract: A power conversion system includes a sensing circuit to sense a system voltage of a DC bus circuit with a first DC bus terminal with a first voltage positive relative to a second voltage of a second DC bus terminal. The sensing circuit includes a first capacitor having a first terminal coupled to the second DC bus terminal, and a second terminal; a second capacitor having a first terminal coupled to the second terminal of the first capacitor, and a second terminal coupled to a reference node; and a resistive divider circuit coupled across the first capacitor and having an output terminal that delivers a voltage signal corresponding to a voltage across the first capacitor.

Abstract: Precharging systems and methods are presented for precharging a DC bus circuit in a power conversion system, in which precharging current is connected through a precharging resistance coupled between only a single AC input line and the DC bus circuit when the DC bus voltage is less than a non-zero threshold, and a controller individually activates controllable rectifier switching devices when the DC bus voltages greater than or equal to the threshold using DC gating or pulse width modulation to selectively provide a bypass path around the precharging resistance for normal load currents in the power conversion system.

Abstract: To avoid the catastrophic failure of a drive, protection circuitry is configured to limit current in the DC bus capacitors. The drive may include an isolation circuit and a protection circuit having a comparator. The protection circuit may be configured to compare the voltage measured across a DC bus capacitor with a threshold voltage and activate the isolation circuit when the DC capacitor voltage exceeds the threshold voltage. The drive may also include a low voltage circuit coupled to the isolation circuit, where the low voltage circuit is configured to interrupt the bypass signal to disengage the bypass circuit and activate the precharge circuit when the isolation circuit is activated. Accordingly, the current in the drive and to the DC bus capacitors is limited by the precharge circuit when the voltage of a capacitor in the DC bus exceeds a threshold.
