Abstract:
Apparatus producing a width modulated square wave for use in a motor control circuit controlling the speed of an alternatingcurrent motor. A low frequency three-phase generator with stationary components develops three wave outputs integrated and summed with a high frequency wave signal, in a summation circuit, produced by a frequency generator. The sign of the outputs of the summation circuit is ascertained by zero level detectors and employed for controlling the motor speed. A direct-current control voltage is applied to the apparatus to control the amplitude of the high and low frequency waves.
Abstract:
THE INVENTION RELATES TO A GENERATOR FOR SUPPLYING CONTROL SIGNALS FOR A THREE PHASE INVERTED CONVERTER OF THE TYPE HAVING THREE PAIRS OF JOINTLY QUENCHABLE, CONTROLLABLE RECTIFIERS. THREE SUBSTANTIALLY SQUARE WAVE SIGNALS ARE GENERATED AT A PREDETERMINED FREQUENCY AND DISPLACED FROM EACH OTHER BY 120 DEGREES. STRIKING MEANS RECEIVE THE SIGNALS AND SEPARATE THE UPPER AND LOWER HALVES OF EACH SQUARE SIGNAL AND SEQUENTIALLY DIRECTS THE HALF WAVES TO THE CONVERTER RECTIFIERS. QUENCHING MEANS ALSO RECEIVE THE SIGNALS AND SUMS THEM TO FORM A SUMMATED SIGNAL, THE SUMMATED SIGNAL BEING DIRECTED TO THE CONVERTER FOR JOINTLY QUENCHING THE RECTIFIERS.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a converter for measured quantities comprising at least one measuring resistance provided in a compensating bridge, the signal current for restoring the bridge balance being fed through a part of the fixed resistances of the bridge. The output that is required for operation is derived from the supervising current. The bridge is connected in series with a control element which varies the voltage across the bridge in such a way that the sum of the currents flowing through the entire bridge is substantially constant, the voltage drop at one of the fixed bridge resistances being used to form a control signal for influencing the control element. In a preferred form of the invention the bridge comprises first and second branches connected to a feed point with each branch consisting of a fixed resistance serving to form the control signal. A third branch comprises a fixed resistance with a tap for connecting the current path for the signal current and the first branch comprises at least one measuring resistance. This results in a very simply constructed bridge which, in the extreme case, makes do with four bridge elements which are two fixed resistances, a fixed resistance with a tap and a measuring resistance.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a speed and voltage control system for an alternating current motor such as a polyphase induction motor. The system includes voltage and frequency regulators and an inverter. In order to avoid the damaging effects of reverse currents and excessive voltages due to hyper-synchronous speed operation upon reducing motor speed, the direct current voltage is made the independent variable with the control frequency being dependent on the actual direct current voltage at the inverter.
Abstract:
THE INVENTION RELATES TO AN INVERTED CONVERTER OF THE TYPE HAVING AT LEAST TWO BRANCHES WITH EACH BRANCH CONTAINING TWO CONTROLLABLE RECTIFIERS ARRANGED IN SERIES. EACH CONTROLLABLE RECTIFIER HAS A FREE RUNNING DIODE ASSOCIATED THEREWITH AN EACH BRANCH IS CONNECTED TO A D.C. VOLTAGE SUPPLY THROUGH A SHORT CIRCUIT IMPEDANCE. THE CONVERTER HAS COMMON QUENCHING CONTROL MEANS IN PARALLEL WITH THE BRANCHES. THE QUENCHING CONTROL MEANS INCLUDES A CONDENSER WHICH IS DISCHARGEABLE THROUGH A CONTROLLABLE QUENCHING RECTIFIER AND A CHOKE.
