    摘要: A power converter is configured to measure an output current and to determine a multi-phase voltage reference as a function of the output current. Within the same switching period the voltage reference is determined, a modulation routine determines a modulation index for each phase of the output voltage. In some instances, one or more phases must start modulation during the switching period before the new modulation index is determined. The modulation routine stores the value of the modulation index generated from the prior switching period and uses the stored value when a new value is not yet ready. An offset value for the phase voltage which used a modulation index from the prior switching period is determined in order to compensate the phase voltages of the other phases and to maintain a desired line-to-line voltage output from the power converter.

    摘要: A control method includes setting, when a space phase difference of in-phase coils of the respective groups is represented by α, a time phase difference of electric currents to be supplied to the in-phase coils of the respective groups is represented by β, and a time phase difference of carrier frequencies with which the three-phase inverters are PWM-controlled, respectively, is represented by γ, values of β and γ so that any one or both of the following relationships are satisfied: γ=±(α+2β), and γ=±(α−β)/2, based on a result of comparison between a current amplitude of a primary component and a current amplitude of a secondary component of a carrier harmonic current, to control the dynamoelectric machine.

    摘要: A controller for a drive motor (60) of a product conveyor belt at a checkout has a phase-start cutting and/or phase-end cutting controller (50) that controls the drive motor (60) in such a manner that the product conveyor belt is accelerated with reduced torque from a non-driven state. A start controller controls the drive motor (60) in such a manner that the drive motor (60) initially drives with a non-reduced torque when accelerating the product conveyor belt from the non-driven state before the phase-start cutting and/or phase-end cutting controller (50) further accelerates the product conveyor belt with reduced torque.

    摘要: A generator starter of a turbomachine, including an asynchronous electric machine configured so as to operate in motor mode during a starting phase of the turbomachine while being supplied by an electrical source, and so as to operate in generator mode after the starting phase of the turbomachine in order to supply an electrical load. An inverter is arranged between the electrical source and the asynchronous machine with at least two alternating current terminals coupled to the asynchronous machine, and a control unit for the inverter configured to supply the asynchronous machine with a starting current in motor mode and a magnetisation current in generator mode. The asynchronous machine includes at least one first stator winding connected to the alternating current terminals to be supplied with the starting current in motor mode and with the magnetisation current in generator mode, and at least one second stator winding connected to the electrical load in generator mode.

    摘要: A PCB motor controller comprises relays mounted on a PCB and interconnected to power traces in or on the PCB to receive incoming three-phase power and to output three-phase power to a motor. Control power traces in or on the PCB connect the relays to control circuitry, also mounted on the PCB. A power supply is mounted on the PCB and connected to the control circuitry to provide power for its operation and for switching of the relays. The relays are switched in accordance with a point-on-wave (POW) switching scheme, allowing for the use or relays and the PCB, which may not otherwise be suitable for motor control applications.
