    摘要: A drive apparatus of a synchronous motor includes: a current detecting unit that detects a phase current flowing to the synchronous motor; and a magnetic pole position estimating unit that estimates a magnetic pole position of a rotor of the synchronous motor, based on the phase current detected by the current detecting unit. The magnetic pole position estimating unit includes a first peak-to-peak detector that detects a first peak-to-peak value representing a difference between a maximum value and a minimum value of the phase current, a quadrature component detector that detects a quadrature component of the phase current, and a second peak-to-peak detector that detects a second peak-to-peak value representing a difference between a maximum value and a minimum value of the quadrature component. The magnetic pole position estimating unit calculates a first magnetic pole position, based on the first and second peak-to-peak values while the synchronous motor is stopped, and estimates an initial magnetic pole position of the rotor, based on the first magnetic pole position.

    摘要: The invention relates to a method for selecting a chopping frequency for application thereof to an inverter controlling a rotating electric machine, wherein the chopping frequency is chosen from among multiple predetermined frequencies depending on the position, in a map, of a current operating point of the assembly formed by the electric machine and the inverter, said map having at least the rotational speed (N) of the electric machine or the frequency (Fe) of the electric current applied thereto as parameter. In at least part of the map, the chopping frequency is furthermore chosen based on a parameter representative of a thermal condition of the electronic switches contained in the inverter. The invention furthermore relates to a method for controlling a corresponding inverter, and to a device implementing this method. The invention is preferably applied to an electric motor vehicle.

    摘要: A motor control device includes a control unit configured to cause a current to flow between two terminals out of three terminals of a three-phase motor under PWM control, a first signal information acquisition unit configured to acquire first signal information indicating an on-duty ratio of a PWM control signal in a three-phase energization state after a predetermined period has elapsed since the three-phase motor was started, and a determination unit configured to determine whether the three-phase motor is locked based on the first signal information.

    摘要: A control system configured to control a rotating electrical machine of a battery electric vehicle (BEV), having one or more microprocessors that execute a low-efficiency mode of operation for the BEV, such that the low-efficiency mode of operation includes determining a high-efficiency mode current command corresponding to operation at a determined physical rotor angular velocity of a rotor of the rotating electrical machine at a commanded torque value, and increasing current supplied to the rotating electrical machine to a level corresponding to operation at an angular velocity higher than the determined physical angular velocity of the rotor at the commanded torque value.

    摘要: The disclosure relates to a method for operating a steering system, wherein the steering system has at least one electrical three-phase machine, at least one control circuit for actuating the electrical three-phase machine and at least one compensation device, which is operatively connected to the control circuit, for reducing a torque ripple of the electrical three-phase machine, wherein at least one compensation parameter of the compensation device is determined. It is proposed that during the determination of the at least one compensation parameter, at least one operating variable correlated with a pre-commutation angle of the electrical three-phase machine and/or with a supply voltage of the electrical three-phase machine is taken into consideration.

    摘要: An electric motor monitor having at least one sensor in electrical communication with a memory device and a motor. The memory device is configured to establish a performance baseline of the motor throughout its workload. The signal processing incorporates a memory device such as a microcomputer and/or a programmable logic controller configured to determine the work being performed by the motor by comparing the baseline performance of the motor throughout its work load to at least, the armature amperage of the motor. A wireless system transmits an operating motor's work parameters including, but not limited to, amperage, temperature, vibration, sound, rotation, power, moisture and/or voltage data, to a mobile or fixed base receiver. Data is accessible and viewable in real time. Alerts based on user-defined thresholds of the sensors are sent to an electronic device such as a tablet, a computer, and/or a smart phone.
