Abstract

A variable speed a-c drive motor is controlled by a current feedback pulse width modulation scheme which effectively isolates the controlled motor current from variations in the input d-c voltage. An additional control loop is provided to superimpose a control signal on the amplitude command input circuit of the pulse width modulation control scheme. The additional loop responds to line current and particularly line current resonance between the input d-c filter and the line inductance. Instantaneous line current is then maintained at the minimum required to support instantaneous power flow to the a-c motor so that resonance current is suppressed.
