Abstract:
An AC motor is energized by the output voltage of an inverter which in turn receives a DC input voltage from a DC-to-DC converter. A combined oscillator-regulator circuit includes a first potentiometer for adjusting the desired volts/hertz ratio of the inverter output voltage, and a second potentiometer for regulating motor speed. The combined oscillator-regulator receives an output signal from the inverter for comparison against the desired volts/hertz ratio signal, and provides two control signals. The first control signal regulates the operation of the DC-to-DC converter, and the second control signal regulates the frequency of the inverter output voltage.
Abstract:
AN INVERTER COMPRISES A SERIES CIRCUIT INCLUDING A FIRST DIODE, A FIRST SCR, A FIRST COMMUTATING CHOKE WINDING, A SECOND DIODE, A SECOND SCR AND THE SECOND COMMUTATING CHOKE WINDING. EACH OF THE TWO COMMUTATING CAPACITORS IS COUPLED IN PARALLEL WITH ONE SCR AND ITS ASSOCIATED COMMUNTATING CHOKE WINDING. WITH THIS INVERTER SERIES CIRCUIT THE PRECHARGE CIRCUIT IS SIMPLIFIED TO INCLUDE ONLY A SUPPLY CONDUCTOR AND A PAIR OF RESISOTRS.
