ABSTRACT:
A motor drive system for selectively supplying a drive current to a multiple phase motor having each phase winding divided into a plurality of discrete windings includes a plurality of H-bridge drives to control the polarity and magnitude of the drive current. Each H-bridge drive include a pair of half bridge drives interconnected to the terminals of each of the discrete windings. Each of the half bridges have an upper bridge switching element and a lower bridge switching element for coupling the positive and negative potential, respectively, of a DC power source to each discrete winding. The discrete windings of each phase winding are coupled in series by a plurality relays which are selectively actuated by a controller to interconnect the discrete windings in predetermined groups dependent upon the shaft speed of the motor. The controller also controls the excitation of the bridge switching elements whereby the bridge switching elements disposed at the end terminals of each group of discrete windings are actuated and the other bridge switching elements are turned off to provide the desired current to the phase windings of the motor.
