    Abstract: A method (400) of determining equivalent circuit parameters of a three phase induction motor is provided. The method (400) comprises applying (410) a current to a stator winding (362) of an induction motor (360), and varying (420) a voltage applied to the stator winding to regulate the applied current to be a constant current. Application of the current is terminated (430) when the applied voltage has reached a constant voltage. The equivalent circuit parameters are determined (440) from the value of the constant current, the values of the applied voltage, and a time period until the applied voltage attains the constant voltage. The method may provide values for a resistance (210) of the stator winding, a resistance (250) of a rotor winding (364), a magnetizing inductance (230), and a total inductance leakage value (220, 240) for the stator winding and the rotor winding.

    Abstract: The present invention provides systems and methods for reducing harmonics, for example when using an AC to AC converter to drive a load such as a motor drive. In a first embodiment, a plurality of load driving circuits is provided, each drawing current from a 3-phase AC supply and driving an AC load, wherein each of said load driving circuit includes a 3-phase rectifier, with the rectifiers of the load driving circuits being controlled such that the rectification of the AC supply by the load driving circuits is staggered. In a second embodiment, a load driving circuit comprises an electronic inductor configured to control the DC link voltage and/or current such that the current drawn from the AC supply by the load driving circuit has a stepped profile. The first and second embodiments may be combined.

    Abstract: A method of initiating a grid-tied inverter is described, in which in-rush currents and DC overvoltage conditions are reduced or avoided. The method uses a pulse width modulator to drive the inverter under the control of a voltage feedforward signal such that the inverter output is dependent on the measured grid voltage. Then, an AC current feedback controller is enabled and the pulse width modulator is used to drive the inverter under the control of both the voltage feedforward control signal and the feedback control signal.
