An electronic device may include an inverter. The inverter may convert direct current (DC) power to alternating current (AC) power. The inverter may use a clock signal at a given frequency to output corresponding alternating current signals at the given frequency. The inverter may receive a dithered clock signal that is frequency dithered using a modulating signal. The dithered clock signal may have at least three different frequency levels during a repeated cycle of the modulating signal. The at least three different frequency levels may include a fundamental frequency, a first frequency that is lower than the fundamental frequency, and a second frequency that is higher than the fundamental frequency. The dithered clock signal may be, during the repeated cycle of the modulating signal, at the fundamental frequency for fewer total periods than at the first frequency and for fewer total periods than at the second frequency.

A ballast includes circuitry to allow the level of the lighting to be adjusted as well as circuitry that interfaces the ballast to a control system via the power line. The ballast is provided for adjusting the output by using a conventional triac phase chop dimming circuit. The basic concepts of the circuit can also be used to drive flat panel (electro luminescent) light source.
摘要:
A ballast with circuitry to allow the level of the lighting device to be adjusted, a separate direct current input and a sensing circuit within the ballast to lower the light level and thus the amount of power required from the direct current input when the normal line power fails. A method of recharging the battery by supply current to flow out of the direct current input when the ballast is operating from line power is also provided.

A pulse-width-modulated inverter models the output response of the system for a given switching angle set under existent load and d.c. link conditions. Before implementation, a provisionally selected angle set is input to the model, which produces an output representative of system operation for the provisional selected set. The harmonics content of the model output is compared with criteria establishing maximally allowable amplitudes for the harmonics and the set is implemented only if the output meets the criteria.

A constant voltage voltage-source inverter of a motor drive includes in its DC-link the combination of diode means, a GTO device and an auxiliary thyristor, the GTO device and the auxiliary thyristor upon transferring to the regenerating mode being cyclically controlled for conduction concurrently with the thyristor of the AC/DC converter so as to match the (voltage-current) domains converter and input of the inverter. Conduction of the GTO device is interrupted before each cyclical control thereof to allow recovery.Initiation of GTO and auxiliary thyristor conduction upon mode transfer is retarded to allow settling of the system before firing the thyristors of the AC/DC converter with a different firing angle.

AC induction motor energized by an inverter coupled with a DC power source. Upon shutdown of the inverter because of a fault condition or a rail gap between adjacent power sources, if the motor rotating frequency is greater than a minimum frequency then a decreased motor voltage is applied to the motor and increased as a ramp over a provided time delay period, after which the motor slip is controlled to provide a desired motor torque that is increased over a subsequent time delay period.

A control unit for DC-to-AC inverter having an addressing memory which is loaded with an addressing table by a microprocessor for a respective frequency range of the inverter output voltage. In the addressing table, a predetermined portion of information is provided for each addressing combination of the switches of the DC-to-AC inverter, the portion of information containing the addressing combination itself and the number of clock pulses for which the addressing combination will be present. The portions of information are interrogated at different speeds depending upon the desired inverter output frequency. A frequency divider is addressed by a clock generator, the frequency divider receiving a division factor from the memory, the division factor being inversely proportional to the desired DC-to-AC inverter output frequency. The output signal of the divider decrements a counter which is loaded with a number of clock pulses associated with the respective addressing combination. Upon achieving a zero count, a new portion of information of the addressing table is provided at the output of the memory.

A synchronous motor drive includes an inverter gating control system using three counters wherein two counters respond to 180.degree. apart zero crossings for providing units of time in terms of clock units, and the third counter is at a computed time interval preset with a count to be counted down to derive the remaining time which is to elapse until a predetermined firing angle is reached, at which time firing of the thyristor of the inverter is triggered.

A motor pulse width modulation control technique employing gated asynchronous carrier modulation including establishing a repetitive modulation signal along with the generation of a carrier frequency signal at a frequency greater than the frequency of the modulation signal. The carrier frequency signal is gated at a gating rate less than the frequency of the carrier frequency signal so as to provide the gated carrier frequency signal. Means are provided for modulating the gated carrier frequency signal by the aforementioned repetitive modulation signal so as to provide cyclic pulse width modulation drive signal for motor control.
