摘要:
Methods and apparatus are presented for detecting phase loss and/or excessive ripple in a power converter, in which bandpass filters are used to obtain harmonic voltage amplitudes associated with the power converter DC bus, and phase loss is detected if a ratio of the second harmonic to the sixth harmonic and/or a ratio of the fourth harmonic to the sixth harmonic exceed predetermined threshold values.

A method and apparatus for braking an AC motor in the higher portion of its speed range includes substantially reducing flux before applying reverse torque commands to brake the motor. A DC link bus regulator is employed to prevent increases in bus voltage and frequency.

A method and apparatus for stopping an AC motor that is controlling a load while detecting mechanical brake slippage of a mechanical brake for holding the load against movement includes a controller for decreasing torque-producing current commands from the drive while a speed regulator is commanding zero speed, sensing movement of the load while the speed regulator is commanding zero speed, detecting movement of the load past a pre-determined distance limit, and increasing torque to support the load and prevent further movement of the load. The controller will again decrease torque-producing current commands from the drive, and again checking for movement of the load, and upon sensing no load movement upon reaching zero torque, then shutting off the motor.

A method and apparatus used with a motor controller for determining transient inductance and rotor resistance upon commissioning of the motor. The estimator drives a single phase of the motor with an excitation current at an operating frequency, determines the d-q axis stator synchronous feedback voltages, divides the excitation current by 2 to produce a positive current signal, multiplies the operating frequency by the positive current signal to produce a current frequency signal and then divides the q-axis voltage feedback by the current frequency signal to produce the transient inductance estimate, divides the d-axis voltage feedback signal by the positive current signal and subtracts stator resistance estimate therefrom to obtain a rotor resistance estimate.
