ABSTRACT:
Alternating voltage for energizing an adjustable speed a-c motor is derived from unipolarity input voltage by means of electric power inverting apparatus comprising at least one pair of alternately conducting controllable electric valves. The conducting states of these valves are periodically switched by control means responsive to frequency and amplitude command signals, whereby the frequency and the amplitude of the fundamental component of the alternating voltage are varied as functions of the respective command signals. The control means includes means for implementing a triangle interception mode of pulse width modulation (PWM) of the alternating voltage so long as the amplitude command signal does not exceed a predetermined reference value (which is less than 1.0 per unit) and the speed of the motor does not exceed a predetermined reference speed, and the control means additionally includes means for implementing a "transition" PWM mode of operation whenever the amplitude command signal exceeds its reference value or the motor speed exceeds said reference speed. As disclosed herein the transition PWM mode implementing means is a dual d-c level set scheme in which the lower level is varied as a function of the higher level so as to minimize selected harmonics of the alternating voltage and the higher level is varied as a function of the amplitude command signal thereby to vary the amplitude of the fundamental voltage component, and means is provided for smoothly transitioning to a square wave mode of operation as the amplitude command signal approaches 1.0 per unit.
