Abstract: An improved system of variable speed drives that enhances the energy efficiency of an elevator system by enabling power transfer between the variable speed drives of two or more elevators via a common DC bus. Any combination of regenerative and non-regenerative variable speed drives may be used with the present invention. Energy storage devices may be connected to the common DC bus further improve efficiency.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for inspecting and calculating the residual strength of an aramid fiber rope driving an elevator to determine when such rope is in need of replacement. The apparatus comprises a transmitter for introducing an acoustic wave that will travel along the aramid fiber rope and a plurality of receivers for receiving the acoustic wave after its has traversed a designated section of the rope. The transmitter and receiver provide signals indicating the times the wave was sent by the transmitter and thereafter received by the receiver. From these signals, a program calculates the wave velocity, and the modulus and residual strength of the aramid rope.
