ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for controlling the operation of an AC motor wherein braking energy at the time of a reduction in motor speed is disposed of by regenerative braking. The apparatus includes a rectifier which is connected to the AC power source, a DC link which includes smoothing capacitors and a regenerative transistor bridge circuit, a variable voltage-variable frequency inverter. Further provided are a diode which is connected between the rectifier and the transistor bridge circuit and which is biased in the reverse direction at the time of regenerative braking, and a firing control circuit for detecting the reverse bias voltage of the diode to control the firing of each transistor in the transistor bridge circuit, the braking energy being fed back to the AC power source when the AC motor undergoes a reduction in speed. The apparatus, which provides stable regenerative operation, can be constructed simply and inexpensively, and reduced in size.
