    摘要: A control device for a ceiling fan may have a motor drive circuit configured to control a rotational speed of a motor of the ceiling fan, an occupancy sensing circuit, and a control circuit configured to adjust the rotational speed of the motor in response to a detected occupancy or vacancy condition. The control circuit may process the signals generated by the occupancy sensing circuit to eliminate the effects of vibrations and/or wobbling of the ceiling fan. The control circuit may control the motor drive circuit to adjust the rotational speed of the motor in response to an accelerometer to minimize the magnitude of the wobble of the ceiling fan. The control circuit may be configured to learn a preferred rotational speed for the motor. The control circuit may also be configured to control the rotational speed of the motor to affect a thermal comfort level of an occupant.

    摘要: A method of modulating a cascaded three-phase VFD, including: obtaining space voltage vectors according to states and output levels of switches of power units in each stage, and dividing the vectors into large vectors, medium vectors, small vectors and zero vectors according to their lengths; arranging the vectors into a vector space, and dividing the vector space into sectors, wherein each sector corresponds to a group of the large vector, the medium vector, the small vector and the zero vector; determining a sector in which a reference voltage vector is located, wherein the reference voltage vector is composed by the group of vectors; calculating action time of the vectors in the group; allocating an action order to the vectors; and generating a three-phase modulated wave signal based on the action orders and the action time.

    摘要: The electric motor system of the present invention includes an electric motor and a driving device. The electric motor includes a grounded housing, and multi-phase stator windings and a neutral point, which are disposed in the housing and form a star connection. The driving device is connected with the multi-phase stator windings and includes a rectifying circuit, a voltage stabilizing capacitor and a high-frequency driving circuit. The voltage stabilizing capacitor is connected with an output end of the rectifying circuit to provide a direct-current power source to a direct-current power source circuit. The high-frequency driving circuit is connected with the direct-current power source circuit and the multi-phase stator windings, and generates multi-phase driving signals to drive the multi-phase stator windings. A high-frequency harmonic suppressing device is connected with the neutral point and the direct-current power source circuit.

    摘要: A method for reducing noise at a wellsite includes transmitting a plurality of first signals from a variable frequency drive (VFD) to an alternating current (AC) induction motor. A timing of a plurality of second signals is varied to control transistors in an inverter of the VFD, thereby reducing harmonic distortion of the first signals output from the VFD. The timing is varied based at least partially upon an estimation of the harmonic distortion.

    摘要: A brushless DC motor system includes a brushless DC motor having phases and a controller in communication with the motor for operating the motor in accordance with a commutation table. The controller further has nodes. The system further includes phase wires electrically coupling the motor and the controller at the nodes to form wire-to-node connections for establishing electrical communication paths between the motor and controller along each phase wire. Each phase wire corresponds to one phase of the motor. The controller is programmed to, in response to a user-selected configuration of the wire-to-node connections, generate the commutation table.

    摘要: Embodiments of a mixing device power system generally include a power control module, an AC motor, and a variable frequency drive, wherein upon application of AC power to the system, electrical power is provided to the power control module which transmits electrical power to the AC motor, whereby rotation of a mixing spindle is initiated. After the spindle has begun rotating, transmission of electrical power from the power control module to the AC motor is ceased, and substantially simultaneously electrical power transmission is commenced from the power control module to the variable frequency drive which transmits electrical power to the AC motor, whereby rotation of the mixing spindle is continued. A method of using the mixing device power system to mix a fluid sample is also provided.
