    Abstract: Embodiments are directed to calculating a current associated with a motor of an elevator based on an output of a speed regulator, and controlling the elevator based on the current. Embodiments are directed to examining a feeder current obtained via a converter current sensor of a regenerative drive during a peak power condition, and regulating a speed of an elevator based on the feeder current.

    Abstract: A regenerative drive (30) and method for providing power from such to at least one auxiliary power supply (41, 43) is disclosed. The drive may include a converter (32) and an inverter (34) connected by a DC bus (33), and a controller (54) configured to apply at least one of unipolar modulation and bipolar modulation to the converter (32) and the inverter (34), and to provide about half of the output voltage across the upper portion (130) of the DC bus (33) and about half of the output voltage across the lower portion (136) of the DC bus (33), when the upper and lower portions (130, 136) of the DC bus (33) are unevenly loaded. A first auxiliary power supply (41) may be connected to one of the upper and lower portions (130, 136) of the DC bus (33) and may receive power from the multilevel regenerative drive (30).

    Abstract: An elevator load weighing system (100) includes a brake assembly (104) configured to apply a braking force that inhibits vertical movement of an elevator car (106), and rotate in response to realizing a torque applied thereto. A position monitoring mechanism (112) is coupled to the brake assembly (104) and is configured to output a position signal in response to a rotation of the brake assembly (104). An electronic elevator control module (102) is configured to determine a zero-torque position of the brake assembly (104) prior to engaging the brake assembly (104). The electronic elevator control module (102) is further configured to detect at least one rotational brake displacement of the brake assembly (104) based on the position signal.
