    Abstract: A drive controller for a motor of a compressor includes a drive circuit that applies voltages to windings of the motor. A speed control module controls the drive circuit to rotate the motor at a requested speed. A speed determination module generates the requested speed based on a speed demand from a system controller. A lost rotor control module identifies a lost rotor condition and, in response to identifying the lost rotor condition, instructs the speed determination module to set the requested speed to an override speed that is lower than the speed demand. The lost rotor control module identifies the lost rotor condition in response to a comparison of a speed error with an adaptive threshold. The speed error is based on a difference between requested and estimated speeds of the motor. During first and second system states, the adaptive threshold is set to first and second thresholds, respectively.

    Abstract: A drive controller for a motor of a compressor includes a drive circuit that applies voltages to windings of the motor. The drive controller includes a speed control module that controls the drive circuit to rotate the motor at a requested speed. The drive controller includes a speed determination module that generates the requested speed. The drive controller includes a defrost module that enables a defrost mode in response to a defrost command. While the defrost mode is enabled, the defrost module causes the speed determination module to (i) ramp the requested speed down from a speed demand to a defrost speed and (ii) maintain the requested speed at the defrost speed for a predetermined period of time.

    Abstract: A drive controller for a motor of a compressor includes a drive circuit that applies voltages to windings of the motor. The drive controller includes a speed control module that controls the drive circuit to rotate the motor at a requested speed. The drive controller includes a speed determination module that generates the requested speed. The drive controller includes a locked rotor protection module that identifies a locked rotor condition and, in response to identifying the locked rotor condition, instructs the speed determination module to power down the motor. The locked rotor protection module acquires an estimated speed of the motor upon expiration of a predetermined time interval that begins upon startup of the motor. The locked rotor protection module identifies the locked rotor condition in response to the estimated speed being lower than a threshold speed. The threshold speed is based on the requested speed.
