Microprocessors and Control of Electric Drives

Inverter Control using Terminal Voltage Sensing

Inverter Control using Terminal Voltage Sensing: The Inverter Control using Terminal Voltage Sensing of the synchronous motor is obtained using the triggering pulses to the inverter which are synchronized with the rotor position. These signals are obtained by processing the phase reference signals P1,P2,P3 and a high frequency signal S4 obtained from a shaft encoder. This shaft encoder

Function Generation and Linearisation

Function Generation and Linearisation: An important aspect of the closed loop control system is the use of Function Generation and Linearisation, e.g. in the control of induction motors there exists a definite non­linear relationship between the stator current and slip frequency to maintain a constant air gap flux. The function generation can be easily carried
