Abstract:
A duty cycle balance module (DCBM) for use with a switch mode power converter. One possible half-bridge converter embodiment includes a transformer driven to conduct current in first and second directions by first and second signals during and second half-cycles, respectively. A current limiting mechanism adjusts the duty cycles of the first and second signals when a sensed current exceeds a predetermined limit threshold. The DCBM receives signals representative of the duty cycles which would be used if there were no modification by the current limiting mechanism and signals Dact—1 and Dact—2 representative of the duty cycles that are actually used for the first and second signals, and outputs signals Dbl—1 and Dbl—2 which modify signals Dact—1 and Dact—2 as needed to dynamically balance the duty cycles of the first and second signals and thereby reduce flux imbalance in the transformer that might otherwise arise.

The flux bias controller includes a current detector which is configured to detect the primary current of the transformer of the power converter in a predetermined switching cycle, a DC bias processor which is configured to obtain the duty ratio control signal according to the sampled primary current outputted from the current detector for a switching cycle later than the predetermined switching cycle, and a PWM controller which is configured to generate driving signals to control the on/off operations of the switching circuit of the power converter according to the duty ratio control signal, thereby suppressing the DC bias of the transformer by regulating the duty ratio of the switch circuit.
Abstract:
An electric power conversion device comprises switching elements 2a, 2b making up a push-pull converter, a pulse transformer T, a rectification diode D1, a rectification diode D2, a choke coil L, a smoothing capacitor C, a DC magnetic deviation prevention means 3, and an inverter 4. The DC magnetic deviation prevention means 3 detects the coil currents I1, I2 flowing in the primary windings M1, M2 of the pulse transformer T. By controlling (shortening) the on time of the switching element having a greater amount of current, the coil currents I1, I2 are balanced (I1nullI2), thereby preventing the magnetic deviation phenomena of the pulse transformer T.
Abstract:
When the absolute values of the negative voltage Vnull and the positive voltage Vnull of a rectangular wave to be applied to the three phase coils of the motor driven using a rectangular-waved voltage are different, time T1 and time T2 for the rectangular wave are adjusted such that the area A representing the absolute value of a time integration value of the negative voltage Vnull and the area B representing the absolute value of a time integration value of the positive voltage Vnull becomes equal to each other. With this adjustment, the average voltage of the rectangular wave becomes of value 0, so that a DC component current is prevented from flowing into the three phase coils of the motor.
Abstract:
A power generator and method of use for providing symmetrical power. In the present invention, the output winding of a generator is center-tapped at the point of mean voltage differential between each of its two output terminals. The center-tap is grounded such that one-half of the output potential appears across each half of the output winding. Full, symmetrical voltage is applied to the load when the output terminals are connected to the load and the load is grounded.
Abstract:
The electric power conversion device includes an AC section, a DC section, a switching section connected between the AC section and the DC section for making power conversion by switching operation, and a control section for control the switching section. In the DC section is installed a ripple detection device for detecting a ripple component emerging into the DC side and for generating a ripple detection signal. When the DC component is included in the output current of the AC section, a ripple component having the same frequency with the AC frequency of the AC section output current is superimposed in the DC section. The ripple detection device is installed in the DC section, and thereby the ripple component emerging into the DC section is detected by the ripple detection device as a reflection of the DC offset included in the output current. The control section receives the ripple detection signal from the ripple detection device, generates the DC component compensation signal for controlling the DC component included in the AC side current based on the ripple detection signal, and controls the switching section by the control signal including the DC component compensation signal to compensate the DC offset.

A gate control circuit controls the three phase output AC voltages of the inverter according to the three second output references.
