Abstract

Disclosed are a device and a method to control the speed of two-phase or three-phase A.C. motors by means of a three-phase converter. The switching-over instants of the switches of the converter for the control of a two-phase motor are computed so that the signals at the common points of each pair of switches are phase shifted with respect to one another and have no low-order harmonic components. The disclosed device and method are applicable to motors driving rotating anodes for X-ray tubes.
