pulsing by guiding the flux vector, current vector or voltage vector on a circle or a closed curve, e.g. for direct torque control

Introduced: January 2006

Full Title

Arrangements or methods for the control of AC motors characterised by the kind of supply voltage > using variable-frequency supply voltage, e.g. inverter or converter supply voltage > using DC to AC converters or inverters > with pulse width modulation > pulsing by guiding the flux vector, current vector or voltage vector on a circle or a closed curve, e.g. for direct torque control

Classification Context

GENERATION, CONVERSION, OR DISTRIBUTION OF ELECTRIC POWER
Subclass:
CONTROL OR REGULATION OF ELECTRIC MOTORS, ELECTRIC GENERATORS OR DYNAMO-ELECTRIC CONVERTERS; CONTROLLING TRANSFORMERS, REACTORS OR CHOKE COILS

Additional Content

DTC Direct torque control is one method used in variable frequency drives to control the torque (and thus finally the speed) of three-phase AC electric motors. This involves calculating an estimate of the motor's magnetic flux and torque based on the measured voltage and current of the motor.
