Abstract:
A control for operating an inverter coupled to a switched reluctance machine includes a relative angle estimation circuit for estimating rotor angle for a phase in the switched reluctance machine. The relative angle estimation circuit estimates a phase voltage and thereby calculates phase flux linkage to estimate the rotor angle.
Abstract:
An apparatus for estimating rotor position of a rotating machine having an even number of phase windings selects first and second phase position estimates developed in response to pulses applied to phase windings having associated phase profiles that are displaced at other than 180 electrical degrees and determines a rotor position estimate from the first and second phase position estimates.
Abstract:
A sensorless control for operating an inverter coupled to a switched reluctance machine includes an instantaneous position generation circuit that develops a signal for controlling commutation of the switched reluctance machine. The instantaneous position generation circuit includes a digitally controlled counter which provides a direct interface between a position estimation circuit and commutation logic for the inverter.
Abstract:
Apparatus for detecting an operating condition of a machine synchronizes sampling instants with the machine condition so that high reliability data are obtained.
Abstract:
An estimator initialization circuit for a sensorless switched reluctance machine system pulses phase windings of the machine a certain number of times and derives initial values for an estimator of the system.
