Abstract: For open loop phase pre-charge, an apparatus includes a Switching Mode Power Supply (SMPS) charging diode and a charge generator. The SMPS charging diode pre-charges an SMPS to a regulation set point from at least one phase of an Alternating Current (AC) voltage. The charge generator is powered by the pre-charged SMPS. In response to detecting the regulation set point iteratively, the charge generator detects a specified phase angle of the AC voltage. In response to the specified phase angle, the charge generator iteratively generates a charging voltage during positive voltage interval that charges a Direct Current (DC) bus capacitor to a target DC bus voltage within a charging time interval. At least a portion of the charge generator comprises one or more of hardware and executable code, the executable code stored on one or more computer readable storage media.

Abstract: A power supply circuit for use with a power supply system. The power supply circuit can be provided within a power supply module connected with one or more additional power supply modules as part of the power supply system. The power supply circuit includes an optocoupler and a resistor ladder connected to the optocoupler. The circuit asserts a synchronization signal responsive to the optocoupler being energized.

Abstract: A motor drive configured to be connected to an external device is provided. The motor drive includes an outer housing, a power module housed within the outer housing, and a control module housed within the outer housing and in communication with the power module. The motor drive also includes a communications port disposed on the outer housing and in communication with the control module. The communications port supports dual-role power in which the motor drive powers the external device when the external device is of a first type and the motor drive receives power from the external device when the external device is of a second type.

Abstract: A power conversion system includes a sensing circuit to sense a system voltage of a DC bus circuit with a first DC bus terminal with a first voltage positive relative to a second voltage of a second DC bus terminal. The sensing circuit includes a first capacitor having a first terminal coupled to the second DC bus terminal, and a second terminal; a second capacitor having a first terminal coupled to the second terminal of the first capacitor, and a second terminal coupled to a reference node; and a resistive divider circuit coupled across the first capacitor and having an output terminal that delivers a voltage signal corresponding to a voltage across the first capacitor.

Abstract: Precharging systems and methods are presented for precharging a DC bus circuit in a power conversion system, in which precharging current is connected through a precharging resistance coupled between only a single AC input line and the DC bus circuit when the DC bus voltage is less than a non-zero threshold, and a controller individually activates controllable rectifier switching devices when the DC bus voltages greater than or equal to the threshold using DC gating or pulse width modulation to selectively provide a bypass path around the precharging resistance for normal load currents in the power conversion system.

Abstract: A power supply system includes modular power supply modules interconnected via a wire harness. The power supply system can be installed in one or more electrical cabinets in a manufacturing facility, for example, among other possible applications. The wire harness includes a fault bus and a synchronization bus, and the individual power supply modules detect and report faults as well as synchronize operation, such as pre-charging, via communication using the wire harness.
