    摘要: A multilevel inverter circuit includes an inverter control circuit that controls switching of main and neutral switches. The inverter control circuit receives current vector information indicating flow direction of an AC current output of the multilevel inverter circuit. The inverter control circuit eliminates dead time between switching of a neutral switch and a main switch depending on whether the AC current output is flowing towards a load or away from the load. Among other advantages, elimination of dead time improves the total harmonic distortion of the sinusoidal AC voltage output of the multilevel inverter circuit.

    摘要: In an embodiment, a power converter system is provided for AC voltage regulation. The power converter system receives an AC input voltage at an input terminal and provides an AC output voltage to a load at an output terminal. A main bi-directional switch is coupled between the input terminal and the output terminal. The main bi-directional switch is operable to control the provision of the AC output voltage. A reactive current flows through the main bi-directional switch if the load is reactive. An auxiliary bi-directional switch is coupled to the output terminal. The auxiliary bi-directional switch is operable to circulate the reactive current due to the reactive load, thereby reducing any voltage spikes in the power converter system.

    摘要: A control scheme for a wound rotor synchronous generator whereby feedback signals corresponding to the exciter field current and the generator output voltage potential combine together to control the generator output voltage in such a way that at lower generator speeds and lower load requirements, exciter field current saturation is eliminated by reducing generator output voltage. The generator control scheme includes a circuit for sensing exciter field current in logic cooperation with a circuit for sensing generator voltage. Both sensing circuits regulate the current applied to the exciter field which corresponds to the rectified current applied to the field windings of the power generator. During steady state operations the generator output voltage is regulated using the generator output voltage as a feedback signal. At lower speeds and reduced loads and as the exciter field current approaches the saturation point, the generator output voltage is regulated using the exciter field current as a feedback signal.

    摘要: This invention provides for an enabling circuit that ensures a positive turn-on of semiconductor switches configured for the generation of a synthesized waveform, thereby eliminating misfiring of the switches due to electronic noise or logic malfunction. The circuit is configured to separately compare a sample waveform with a positive reference voltage and a negative reference voltage. The two results are directed to separate logic AND gates which have respective control signal inputs that regulate the formation of the positive and negative portion of a synthesized waveform. The output signals from the two AND gates connect to logic means to control the firing of the semiconductor switches.

    摘要: According to one embodiment, a power supply system includes a switching device operable to be turned on and off for causing power to be delivered to a load. The switching device has a control terminal. Driver circuitry, coupled to the control terminal of the switching device, is operable to drive the switching device. The driver circuitry further operable to detect a fault condition in the power supply system. If the switching device is turned on when the fault condition is detected, the driver circuitry reduces the voltage at the control terminal of the switching device to a level just above the threshold voltage for the switching device, and holds the voltage at the control terminal to the level just above the threshold voltage for a controlled duration, thereby reducing the saturation current flowing through the switching device. The driver circuitry further reduces the voltage at the control terminal of the switching device after the controlled duration, thereby safely turning off the switching device.
