摘要:
A method for determining proper rotation direction of a reversible motor comprises the steps of: operating the motor to rotate a fan in a first direction, monitoring an operating parameter of the motor while the fan is rotated in the first direction, determining if the monitored operating parameter is within an acceptable range, determining that the first direction of rotation is not the proper rotation direction where the monitored operating parameter is not within the acceptable range, and operating the motor to rotate the fan in a second direction if the monitored operating parameter is not within the acceptable range.

A blower motor assembly having a variable speed motor that is suitable for direct, drop-in replacement in a residential HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) system that employs a PSC motor. The blower motor assembly includes at least a neutral input and two hot AC line connections, one for connection to the heating power source and the other to the cooling power source. A sensing circuit senses which of the inputs is energized by sensing either voltage or current on the inputs. The sensing circuit delivers a corresponding signal to a motor controller to control the speed of the variable speed motor. The blower motor assembly may also be equipped with additional hot AC inputs, more than one neutral line, and several sensing circuits for sensing current or voltage in the hot inputs and/or the neutral lines for controlling various aspects of the variable speed motor.
摘要:
Systems and methods for controlling a rotating electromagnetic machine. The rotating machine, such as a permanent magnet motor or hybrid switched reluctance motor, includes a stator having a plurality of phase windings and a rotor that rotates relative to the stator. A drive is connected to the phase windings for energizing the windings. A controller outputs a control signal to the drive in response to inputs of demanded torque, rotor position and/or speed. Control methods include calculating a scaled torque demand from the received torque demand to obtain substantially constant torque over a range of motor speeds, calculating an optimal dr-axis injection current using a cost function and a starting method that switches from speed control mode to torque control mode at a predetermined rotor speed or at predetermined start-up timing intervals.

A motor control system for use in heating, ventilation and air conditioning applications including a blower and a motor coupled to drive the blower, an inverter coupled to provide energization to the motor, a relay capable of coupling the motor to the output of the inverter or to line power, and a controller providing signals to control the output of the inverter, where, upon startup and transfer of the motor from the line to the inverter, the output of the inverter is controlled by the inverter to provide for an enhanced startup or transfer.

A multi-speed switching device particularly suitable for providing multi-speed starts for a motor, especially a two-speed motor, is provided with a high-reliability solid state switch for controlling a phased start winding of the motor, and an inexpensive switch for accommodating a lesser number of starts at an auxiliary speed. The high-reliability switch is a triac switched off during every motor start as the motor comes up to an operating speed. The inexpensive switch is an electromechanical relay that switches between a main run winding and an auxiliary speed run winding, and which is energized by voltage appearing across the solid state switch when it is switched off. Operation at the main speed is selected by energizing a first circuit terminal, while operation at the auxiliary speed is selected by energizing a second circuit terminal, the switch of the relay normally connecting the second circuit terminal to the main run winding when the relay coil is not energized and to the auxiliary run winding when the relay coil is energized. The switch contacts of the relay are not energized except when the motor is started for auxiliary speed operation, which thereby enhances the reliability of the relay. Because a relay is used instead of a centrifugal switch, reliability is further enhanced. The device and its method of operation are adapatable to motors having more than two speeds, with minor modifications and extensions.
