    摘要: A wall-mountable load control device may include an illuminated rotary knob for providing a nightlight feature. The load control device may be configured to control an intensity of a lighting load. The load control device may include a yoke adapted to be mounted to an electrical wall box, an enclosure attached to the yoke, a faceplate attached to the yoke and having an opening, a mounting member attached to the yoke, and/or a potentiometer located within the enclosure and having a shaft extending through an opening in the yoke and the opening of the faceplate. The load control device may include a collar attached to the boss of the mounting member and surrounding the shaft of the potentiometer. The mounting member may be configured to conduct light from at least one light source housed within the enclosure to illuminate the faceplate.

    摘要: The invention relates to a method for operating a current converter, in particular of an electric machine, in which, for the or for each semiconductor switch of the current converter, a control signal (P′) for setting a switch-off speed (Anew) is generated, wherein an electric intermediate circuit voltage (Udc) of an intermediate circuit is measured and compared to a voltage threshold value (Uthresh), wherein an operating temperature (TB) of the respective semiconductor switch is measured and compared to a temperature threshold value (Tthresh), wherein a load current (Ic) switched by means of the respective semiconductor switch is measured and compared to a current threshold value (Ithresh), and wherein the control signal (P′) for setting the switch-off speed (Anew) is generated on the basis of the comparisons.

    摘要: A controller of an electrically powered vehicle includes an electronic control unit. The electronic control unit performs a switching control by a square wave control in a first switching mode when a rotation speed of the motor is equal to or higher than a first predetermined rotation speed. The electronic control unit performs the switching control by the square wave control in a second switching mode when the rotation speed of the motor is lower than the first predetermined rotation speed. The first predetermined rotation speed is a rotation speed lower than a first resonance region. The first switching mode is a mode of a switching pattern that suppresses LC resonance in the first resonance region. The second switching mode is a mode of a switching pattern that suppresses LC resonance in a second resonance region lower than the first predetermined rotation speed.

    摘要: A second upper-lower limit clipping unit performs an upper-lower limit clipping with an upper limit torque greater than that of a first upper-lower limit clipping unit, with respect to a value obtained by executing torque ripple correction by subtracting a torque ripple correction amount calculated by a torque ripple correction amount calculation unit, from a torque command subjected to the upper-lower limit clipping by the first upper-lower limit clipping unit. A carrier frequency correction amount calculation unit calculates a carrier frequency correction amount for correcting a carrier frequency of a power converter for driving the motor, in order to reduce losses in the power converter which have been increased by the execution of the torque ripple correction.

    摘要: A power converting apparatus for vehicles according to an embodiment controls a plurality of AC motors for vehicle traveling set on a motor setting table. The power converting apparatus includes a plurality of inverter circuits and a plurality of controllers. The plurality of inverter circuits supply three-phase AC power to the AC motors. The plurality of controllers generate control signals for ON/OFF-controlling a plurality of switching elements of the inverter circuits and perform PWM control on the inverter circuits associated with the plurality of controllers among the plurality of inverter circuits. The plurality of controllers perform the PWM control on the associated inverter circuits according to control signals generated using carrier waves having phases different from one another. A phase difference between the carrier waves is based on the number of the plurality of AC motors set on the motor setting table.

    摘要: A motor controller includes a motor, an encoder, and a control circuit. The motor drives a target object to be controlled. The encoder outputs a pulse signal synchronously with rotation of the motor. The control circuit rotates the motor based on a count value of the pulse signal. The control circuit switches to a sleep mode when making sure that a rotation position of the motor is stable after finishing rotating the motor or when a predetermined time necessary for the rotation position of the motor to be stable elapses after finishing rotating the motor. When a change in the pulse signal during a period of time where the control circuit is in the sleep mode is not smaller than a predetermined amount, the control circuit performs a learning process to learn a reference position of the motor when returning to a wakeup mode from the sleep mode.

    摘要: A system and for generating power associated with a hybrid vehicle or electrically propelled vehicle comprises a mode selector for selecting at least one of an operational mode and a power generation mode. A controller activates one or more switches to disconnect an inverter output from a drive electrical path to a drive motor and to connect the inverter output to a power generation path if the vehicle is in the power generation mode. An inverter inverts a direct voltage signal to an alternating current signal with a desired frequency in the power generation path. A transformer increases a voltage level of the alternating current signal to a desired voltage level.
