    摘要: The invention relates to a method for selecting a chopping frequency for application thereof to an inverter controlling a rotating electric machine, wherein the chopping frequency is chosen from among multiple predetermined frequencies depending on the position, in a map, of a current operating point of the assembly formed by the electric machine and the inverter, said map having at least the rotational speed (N) of the electric machine or the frequency (Fe) of the electric current applied thereto as parameter. In at least part of the map, the chopping frequency is furthermore chosen based on a parameter representative of a thermal condition of the electronic switches contained in the inverter. The invention furthermore relates to a method for controlling a corresponding inverter, and to a device implementing this method. The invention is preferably applied to an electric motor vehicle.

    摘要: A method for determining at least one property of a rotational movement of a three-phase rotary current machine in generator operation, with an electrical parameter for a phase voltage of the relevant phase of the three-phase alternating voltage of the rotary current machine generated in generator operation being continuously recorded metrologically for each of the three phases. Three electrical parameter pairs are formed from the three electrical parameters, whereby the three electrical parameter pairs respectively include electrical parameters of a first and a second phase, electrical parameters of the second phase and a third phase, and electrical parameters of the third phase and the first phase. A sign of a difference between the electrical parameters of each parameter pair is continuously determined. The property of the rotational movement is determined from change times corresponding to times of immediately successive sign changes of the differences between the three parameter pairs.

    摘要: A controller in a motor control device includes an integral operation unit 606A (608A) that performs an arithmetic operation for a d(q)-axis integrated value Id** (Iq**) through integral control performed on a d(q)-axis current deviation ΔId (ΔIq) and is configured to perform an arithmetic operation for a d(q)-axis voltage command value for controlling an output voltage of an inverter of a three-phase brushless motor. The controller further includes a limit value arithmetic operation unit 606C (608C) that performs an arithmetic operation for d(q)-axis integration upper and lower limit values Idmax (Iqmax) and Idmin (Iqmin) on the basis of a power source voltage of the inverter and the like and an integration limiting unit 606D (608E) that limits Id** (Iq**) within a predetermined range defined by the d(q)-axis integration upper and lower limit values.

    摘要: A material handler comprises a motor, an interface device, and a controller. The controller is configured to receive an input from the interface device and can include a variable frequency drive (VFD). The controller provides a variable frequency drive (VFD) signal to the motor to control movement of one or more components of the material handler. If the interface device is inactive for a predetermined amount of time, the controller adjusts a frequency of the VFD signal from an operating frequency to a standby frequency with the standby frequency being lower than the operating frequency. Adjusting the frequency from the operating frequency to the standby frequency can include adjusting the frequency of the VFD signal to one or more intermediate frequencies. When adjusting the frequency of the VFD signal, the controller can skip at least one frequency or range of frequencies, for example, to avoid undesirable operating characteristics.

    摘要: An energy conversion apparatus, a motor, a power system, and a vehicle are provided. The energy conversion apparatus may integrate a motor drive function by using a three-phase bridge arm converter and a motor winding, and integrate an alternating current charging function by using a two-phase two-bridge-arm converter and a transformer. In this way, the energy conversion apparatus can integrate the charging function and the motor drive function. When the energy conversion apparatus is installed on an electric vehicle, a vehicle integration level can be increased, a structure layout of the electric vehicle can be simplified, and costs and a volume of the electric vehicle can be reduced.
