Abstract:
A power converter includes: a rectifying and boosting unit that rectifies first alternating-current power supplied from a commercial power supply and boosts a voltage of the first alternating-current power; a capacitor connected to an output end of the rectifying and boosting unit; an inverter to convert power output from the rectifying and boosting unit and the capacitor into second alternating-current power, and output the second alternating-current power to a device; and a control unit that reduces a current flowing through the capacitor by controlling the rectifying and boosting unit and by controlling the inverter such that the inverter outputs, to the device, the second alternating-current power containing a ripple dependent on a ripple of power flowing from the rectifying and boosting unit into the capacitor. The control unit controls in accordance with a load state.
Abstract:
In other features, a refrigeration system is provided and includes a compressor motor, an inverter, a converter and a control module. The inverter is configured to convert a direct current (DC) bus voltage to an alternating current (AC) voltage and supply the AC voltage to the compressor motor. The converter is configured to convert a DC input voltage to the DC bus voltage. The control module is configured to obtain a parameter and in response to the parameter exceeding a predetermined threshold, reduce the DC bus voltage and at least one of (i) reduce a switching frequency, (ii) increase an amount of negative d-axis current of the compressor motor, or (iii) reduce a speed of the compressor motor.
Abstract:
An interleaved bridgeless power factor correction (PFC) converter-based motor drive system is provided. The system includes a first inductor coupled to a second inductor. The coupled first and second inductors are coupled to a first input configured to be coupled to a first line of an alternating current (AC) power supply. The system also includes a third inductor coupled to a fourth inductor. The coupled third and fourth inductors are coupled to a second input configured to be coupled to a second line of the AC power supply. The system further includes a digital active power factor correction (PFC) controller configured to cause current in at least one of the coupled first and second inductors and the coupled third and fourth inductors to be interleaved.
Abstract:
A drive circuit is provided for reducing conducted electromagnetic interference provided by a power line to a motor controller. The drive circuit includes an EMI filter having first and second EMI filter input terminals, and first and second EMI filter output terminals. The first input terminal is configured to be coupled to a first AC line output and the second input terminal is configured to be coupled to a second AC line output. The drive circuit includes a rectifier portion having first and rectifier input terminals coupled to the first and second EMI output terminals, respectively. The drive circuit includes at least two series-coupled filter capacitors after the rectifier portion and a PFC choke coupled at a first end to one of the EMI filter output terminals and to one of the first and second rectifier input terminals, and at a second end between the series-coupled filter capacitors.
