ABSTRACT:
An elevator control system connected to a source of three-phase alternating current which is rectified by a converter to direct current which is converted to a variable-voltage variable-frequency A.C. voltage which, in turn, drives the elevator hoist motor. A resistor and a switch are connected across the D.C. terminals of the converter. When the motor is operating in the regenerative mode, the switch is closed to permit the regenerated circuit to flow through the resistor which dissipates or consumes the regenerated power. When the regenerated power being consumed by the resistor is detected to exceed a predetermined value, the excess regenerated power is returned to the A.C. source through a regenerative inverter.
