Abstract

A method and apparatus to be used with a motor controller for determining if phase currents in a three phase AC motor are balanced. The phase angles between current zero crossing times for consecutive phase currents are compared to determine current balance and thyristor switches are employed to adjust phase angles and rebalance unbalanced currents.
