ABSTRACT:
A control system and method for an electronically commutated motor having a stationary assembly with a plurality of winding stages for carrying a motor current in response to application of a voltage having a magnitude subject to variations, the motor further having a rotatable assembly. The control system is adapted to receive control pulses having a duty cycle which is a function of a desired operating torque or speed for the motor. The control system and method are responsive to the motor current for generating a pluse width modulated (PWM) series of pulses having a pulse repetition rate having a duty cycle which is a function of the duty cycle of the control pulses. The PWM series of pulses are supplied to the commutating circuit as a pulsed signal whereby the operating torque or speed of the motor is a function of the duty cycle of the control pulses and is substantially independent of variations in the magnitude of the applied voltage. The control system may be part of a draft inducer apparatus or method for use with a combustion chamber having an exhaust outlet including a fan for moving air through the exhaust outlet and thereby to induce a draft in the combustion chamber. A pressure sensor connected to the motor control apparatus may be located within the exhaust outlet.
