摘要:
A power generating system provides high voltage AC power and low voltage DC power using a single generator. The generator includes a rotor and a stator that is wound with a first winding and a second winding. The first winding has a greater number of turns than the second winding and generates high voltage AC power in response to the rotating magnetic field created by the rotor. The second winding generates low voltage AC power in response to the rotating magnetic field created by the rotor. The low voltage AC power is converted to low voltage DC power by a rectifier. The low voltage DC power is further controlled by a DC-DC converter to generate controlled DC power. A controller monitors the DC power generated by the DC-DC converter, and generates pulse width modulation signals that are provided to the DC-DC converter, selectively increasing or decreasing the controlled DC power provided by the DC-DC converter.
摘要:
A method and system for monitoring the performance of a permanent magnet device, such as a motor or generator, and providing early detection of motor performance deterioration. The back electromotive force (EMF) of the motor is measured at selected conditions when the motor is in a normal healthy condition to obtain a reference signature response. A measured signature is then obtained periodically during the life of the motor at the same conditions as the reference signature to check the current back EMF characteristic of the motor. If the measured signature deviates from the reference signature by a predetermined threshold, it indicates that the motor performance has degraded to a condition requiring attention.

A three phase inverter (40) is disclosed for use with loads (100) which are unbalanced. A transformer (80) having primary windings (82), (84) and (86) which are respectively connected to phase outputs (52, 54 and 56) has a secondary having individual windings (88, 90 and 92) connected in a delta configuration which minimizes the flow of unbalanced current in the unbalanced load. A second embodiment utilizes a transformer in an interconnected configuration. A neutral connecting the conductive switches to the load is unnecessary with the invention.
