Abstract:
A circuit for preventing power imbalance of a resonance-type power converter is proposed. The circuit may include a rectifier converting input alternating current (AC) into direct current (DC) and frequency-controlled first and second resonant converter modules configured to receive an output voltage of the rectifier divided into two stages. The circuit may further include a controller outputting a first frequency command for controlling a frequency of a pulse width modulation (PWM) signal supplied to a switching element of a first switching unit of the first resonant converter module. The circuit may further include a frequency compensator compensating for the first frequency command and then outputting a second frequency command for controlling a frequency of a PWM signal supplied to a switching element of a second switching unit of the second resonant converter module, so as to eliminate power imbalance between the first and second resonant converter modules.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to an apparatus and method for estimating a temperature of a motor using a Hall sensor. The method includes detecting, at a digital Hall sensor, a position of a rotor included in a motor and outputting an on signal in an operating period and an off signal in a release period according to a relative position of the rotor, calculating, at a temperature determining module, a difference between duration of the operating period and duration of the release period according to an output waveform of the digital Hall sensor, and then determining, at the temperature determining module, a temperature of the motor with reference to a temperature corresponding to the duration difference. Accordingly, it is possible to estimate the internal temperature of a motor without installing a temperature sensor in the motor, to maintain a small size of the motor, and to reduce production costs.
