Abstract
An inversion method, particularly as part of a frequency change is proposed, e.g. for regulating three-phase motors, square-wave voltage pulses being produced by opening and closing electronic switches, so that repeatedly and in a desired order predetermined combinations of switch positions and associated number of clock intervals of unchanged switch position are in each case requested, the switch position combination set and the corresponding number of clock intervals is counted without changing the switch position.
Claims7
An inversion process, particularly as part of a frequency change in an output voltage for regulating a three-phase motor during changes in the rpm of the motor such as duration motor starting, in which square-wave voltage pulses are produced by opening and closing electronic switches, wherein repeatedly and in a desired order give combinations of switch positions and an associated number of clock intervals of unchanged switch positions are requested, the switch position combination set and the corresponding number of clock intervals is counted without changing the switch position, and wherein the duration and number of switch position combinations during a cycle of the output voltage is varied as a function of the desired rpm of the motor to change the frequency of the output voltage for said motor.
An inversion apparatus, particularly as part of an output voltage frequency changer, with several electronic switches, for supplying voltages to a three-phase motor, wherein are provided an electronic memory, in which on the one hand are stored specific combinations of switch positions and on the other numbers of clock intervals respectively associated therewith and belonging thereto over which the corresponding switch position combination is to be maintained, as well as a counter and a device for requesting or polling switch position combinations and the associated number of clock intervals from the memory, for adjusting the combination of switches and for setting the counter, and wherein means are provided which, on changing the frequency of the output voltage to the motor as during starting of the motor and as a function of the desired rpm of the motor, requires a given order of different sequences of switch position combinations and associated clock interval numbers from the memory.
