摘要： Apparatus for controlling and diagnosing a prime mover of a vehicle traction system includes an alternator having a rotor and coupled to a crankshaft of the prime mover, a source of electrical energy, a position sensor supplying a position signal representative of an angular position of the rotor, and a control computer. The computer supplies energy to the alternator to crank the prime mover at a controlled rate. In a diagnosis mode, the computer generates a condition signal indicative of a malfunction of the prime mover, from a compression signal derived from an acceleration signal which is derived from the position signal. In a barring-over mode, the computer also supplies energy to the alternator and monitors the position signal to place the crankshaft in a desired angular position in an operation separate from diagnosis mode.

摘要： A system and method for protecting a motor drive unit from an associated motor includes a motor drive unit protection system. The motor drive unit protection system includes at least one switch configured to be connected between a motor drive unit and a plurality of motor leads of the motor driven by the motor drive unit. The motor drive unit protection system also includes a controller configured to monitor the motor drive unit or the motor to determine a fault condition indicative of the motor potentially operating as a generator. Upon determining the fault condition, the controller is configured to cause the at least one switch to connect the plurality of motor leads together to protect the motor drive unit from the motor when the motor is operating as a generator.

摘要： A DC electric machine interpole disposed between adjacent main field poles is magnetically isolated from the machine frame and is characterized in that the pole piece or pieces which conduct interpole flux from the interpole into the armature is (are) longitudinally displaced and circumferentially adjacent to the pole piece or pieces which conduct interpole flux from the armature to the interpole. The longitudinal displacement of the sending and receiving pole pieces permits the circumferential width of the interpole to be relatively small thereby reducing flux leakage from main field pole to main field pole to effect an improvement in the performance of the machine.

摘要： A brush holding assembly comprises two elements: a body element semi-permanently secured to the machine housing and a cartridge element detachably secured to the body element. The cartridge element includes at least one brush compartment having upper and lower faces with brush openings through which an elongated brush element can be inserted. The face of the cartridge element which is adapted to be secured to the body element has a service opening for spring insertion. At the time of servicing, a twin coiled spring is inserted into the compartment via the service opening and the new brush is inserted into the compartment via the lower face brush opening. As the brush is more fully inserted, it engages the spring element between its coils, and the end of the brush eventually emerges through the upper face brush opening, unwinding the spring coils which are retained within the compartment by the upper face of the cartridge element. The fully inserted brush is retained within the compartment by a retractor clip until the cartridge element is reattached to the body element.
