OPERATON OF A THREE-PHASE REGENERATIVE DRIVE FROM MIXED DC AND SINGLE PHASE AC POWER SOURCES
First Claim
1. A three-phase regenerative drive comprising:
- a three-phase converter having inputs for connection to a single-phase AC source and a DC source;
a three-phase inverter for connection to a motor;
a DC bus connected between the three-phase converter and the three-phase inverter; and
a controller for providing control signals to the three-phase converter to control respective contributions to current demand by the single-phase AC source and the DC source.

Abstract
A three-phase regenerative drive (20) is operated based upon power from a single-phase AC source (12) and power from a DC source (14). The single-phase AC input power and the DC input power are converted to DC voltage on a DC bus (24) by a three-phase converter (22). DC power is provided from the DC bus (24) to a three-phase inverter having outputs connected to a motor (34). A controller (44) controls operation of the three-phase converter (22) based upon contribution factors of the AC and DC sources (12, 14) during motoring and regeneration. The controller (44) also controls an AC component of current from the DC source to reduce ripple current on the DC bus (24).

12. A method of operative a regenerative drive comprising a converter, an inverter and a DC bus connected between the converter and the inverter, the method comprising:
-
connecting a single-phase AC source and a DC source to the converter; creating a current reference as a function of DC bus voltage; splitting the current reference into a first reference and a second reference; controlling current flow in the converter between the single-phase AC source and the DC bus as a function of the first reference; and controlling current flow in the converter between the DC source and the DC bus as a function of the second reference. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
