Abstract:
Circuitry for efficiently operating a three-phase AC motor having three coils, each of which implementing a corresponding phase, comprising four half-bridge inverters having a common bus voltage, for controlling the level and the phase of input voltages supplied to the coils and a control circuitry for operating the four half bridges. A first coil of the motor is being connected between a first half-bridge inverter and a second half-bridge inverter and generating by the control circuitry a desired voltage across the first coil using the first and second half-bridge inverters; A second coil of the motor is being connected between the second half-bridge inverter and a third half-bridge inverter and generating by the control circuitry a desired voltage across the second coil using the second and third half-bridge inverters; A third coil of the motor is being connected between the third half-bridge inverter and a fourth half-bridge inverter and generating by the control circuitry desired voltage across the third coil using the third and fourth half-bridge inverters. The control circuitry, controls the phase of the voltage generated by the fourth half-bridge inverter to be equal to the phase of the voltage generated by the first half-bridge inverter.
