摘要: A method for operating a processing system to identify faults in an electric machine system including a multiphase machine having plurality of sets of windings; comprising: receiving parameter information representative of electrical operating parameters of the multiple phases of each of the multiple winding sets of the multiphase machine; determining symmetrical components based on the parameter information; comparing the symmetrical components to fault information defining faults of the multiple phases of the multiple winding sets with respect to symmetrical component fault values; identifying faults in one or more of the multiple phases of the multiple winding sets based on the comparison.

摘要: A method of controlling a multi-phase electric machine includes implementing a first control method to control the operation of a six-phase machine that is configured as a combination of two three-phase machines. The method also includes determining whether a fault exists in the six-phase machine. In response to determining that the fault exists in the six-phase machine, the method includes implementing a second and different control method to control the operation of the six-phase machine.

摘要: A method of operating a multi-phase electric machine includes operating a six-phase machine with six phases that are configured into a first group having a first neutral connection and a second group having a second neutral connection. The method also includes determining whether at least one of the six phases is experiencing a fault. In response to the determining, the method includes combining the first and second neutral connections to form a common neutral connection to continue operating the six-phase machine by using the remaining phase not experiencing the fault.

摘要: A method for operating an electric drive system is provided. For example, a controller retrieves, from memory, a predictive model indicating predictive winding temperatures associated with known negative temperature coefficient (NTC) temperatures, wherein the predictive model is based on historical NTC temperatures and historical winding temperatures, as well as one or more operating parameters. The controller receives current NTC information indicating one or more current NTC readings corresponding to one or more switching devices within the inverter. The controller determines estimated winding temperatures corresponding to the electric machine based on the predictive model and the one or more current NTC readings as well as current operating parameters. The controller provides instructions to adjust inputs to the electric machine based on the estimated winding temperatures.

摘要: An inverter system is provided such that the system includes a direct-current (DC) voltage supply electrically coupled with a DC link, a plurality of inverters, each electrically coupled with the DC link, a plurality of electric machines where each electric machine is electrically coupled with one of the inverters, and a controller coupled with each of the inverters. The controller can control carrier signals of the inverters such that the carrier signals are synchronized and interleaved at an angle (Θ) that is determined based on the waveform type of the carrier signals and the number of inverters in the system.
