    Abstract: This controller is used for controlling a centrifugal compressor along its path of minimum power consumption while avoiding a surge condition. It is especially useful in a refrigeration system having a variable speed centrifugal compressor with adjustable inlet guide vanes. In such an application, the controller opens the inlet guide vanes enough to satisfy the cooling demand and then, to minimize power consumption, reduces the speed of the compressor while further opening the vanes (compensating for the reduced speed) until either the inlet guide vanes are fully open or an impending surge condition is detected. The onset of a surge condition is detected by monitoring motor current fluctuations. When fluctuations above a predetermined amplitude occur in excess of a predetermined frequency, the controller determines that a surge is impending. The controller continues to control the compressor in this manner, providing a capacity that is minimally above a level that would cause a surge yet is sufficient to satisfy the cooling demand.

    Abstract: A microcomputer based fault detector for identifying a phase reversal, a phase loss, and a power loss in three-phase circuits. A microcomputer samples a pattern of timing signals generated in response to three current transformers associated with each of the three phases. The changing pattern of timing signals represent the phase relationship of each of the three phases. The sampling rate of the microcomputer is synchronized to the alternating current in each of the three phases by an interrupt signal indirectly generated by one of the phases. In the absence of current in this interrupt generating phase, a backup interrupt, internal to the microcomputer, is enabled which directs the microcomputer to determine if the absence of the first interrupt is due to a phase loss or a power loss. Either interrupt prompts the microcomputer to sample the pattern of signals and compare it to a predetermined pattern. By counting any deviant patterns and classifying them as characteristic of either a phase reversal, phase loss, or power loss, the microcomputer identifies the specific fault as the occurrence of a predetermined number of deviant patterns within a classification.
