 Operation
The basic operation of a 3 phase sinusoidal voltage source
inverter (VSI) fed 3 phase sinusoidal permanent magnet
synchronous motor drive. The system consists of 6 important
parts which is:
• Overvoltage Protection
• In rush current protection
• Dynamic braking system
• Resolver To Digital Converter
• Driver module and logic converter
• Hysteresis Current Controller
• Vector transformation
Overvoltage protection
 In Rush Current
• Inrush current or input surge current refers to the maximum,
instantaneous input current drawn by an electrical device when
first turned on.
• Inrush current flows when the input capacitors are suddenly
charged during the initial application of power. If unrestricted,
the inrush current can easily exceed 50 A at the peak of the ac
cycle and severely stress the converter’s fuse and input
rectifiers significantly reducing the reliability and life
expectancy of the modules.
 Dynamic Braking
• Dynamic braking on a phase controlled DC drive is an
“uncontrolled” process. During DB, the motor armature is
disconnected from the drive. A resistor is placed across the
motor's rotating armature (now acting as a generator) and the
resulting current causes braking torque in the motor that
decays exponentially (assuming no overhauling load and fixed
motor field) with the motor's Counter Electro Magnetic Force
(CEMF). The motor will decelerate, even with a drive failure,
as long as motor field excitation is maintained.

Relative Stopping Times

 Voltage Source Inverter

• Voltage source inverters are used to regulate the

speed of three-phase squirrel cage motors by changes
the frequency and the voltage and consist of input
rectifier, DC link and output converter. They are
available for low voltage range and medium voltage
range.
 Hysteresis Current Controller
• The basic implementation of hysteresis current control is
based on deriving the switching signals from the comparison
of the current error with fixed tolerance band.
• This control is based on the comparison of the actual phase
current with the tolerance band around the reference current
associated with that phase. On the other hand, this type of
band control is negatively affected by the phase current
interactions which is typical in three-phase systems.
• This is mainly due to the interference between the
commutations of the three phases, since each phase current not
only depends on the corresponding phase voltage but is also
affected by the voltage of the other two phases. Depending on
load conditions switching frequency may vary during the
fundamental period, resulting in irregular inverter operation
 Resolver to digital converter
• Resolver are transducer that are used to sense the angular
position of rotational machines. They resemble small motors
and have magnetically coupled rotor and stator windings.
• Operation of tracking resolver-to-digital (R/D) converters is
based on the resolver format signals induced on the stator
windings of the resolvers.
• A Resolver-to-Digital or a Synchro-to-Digital converter is
used to convert these signals to a digital output corresponding
to the shaft angle and/or velocity.
