Abstract
Abstract In a control system of an AC motor fed from a frequency converter including a thyristor rectifier and a thyristor inverter, the speed of the motor is controlled by a current control system comprising a speed control circuit responsive to a reference speed signal and an actual speed signal, and a current control circuit which produces a pulse signal supplied to the rectifier. The inverter is controlled by another pulse signal corresponding to the angular position of the rotor of the motor. An additional current instruction circuit is provided which in response to the two pulse signals described above controls the current control circuit.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
159 words
In a system of controlling an alternating current motor fed from a source of alternating current via a rectifier and an inverter, each comprising semiconductor switching elements, wherein the speed of the motor is controlled by a control current produced by a current control system including a speed control circuit responsive to a reference speed signal and an actual speed signal of said motor, and a current control circuit responsive to the output of said speed control circuit for producing a first pulse signal supplied to the semiconductor switching elements of said rectifier and wherein the semiconductor elements of said inverter is controlled by a second pulse corresponding to an angular position of the rotor of said motor, the improvement which comprises an additional current instruction circuit responsive to said first and second pulse signals and a signal representing said actual speed, and means for applying the output of said additional current instruction circuit to said current control circuit.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
