A motor control system for a brushless and sensorless DC motor for driving a compressor, pump or other application, includes a protection and fault detection circuit for detecting a locked rotor and a rotor which has stopped because of lost rotor phase lock. The motor control system also includes an off-the-shelf motor control integrated circuit having an input for disabling power outputs to the motor phase coils. The protection and fault detection circuit uses a back EMF sampling circuit coupled to the motor phase coils and momentarily disables power to the motor phase coils, via the motor control integrated circuit input, to determine if the motor rotor is rotating. The system also monitors supply voltage, supply current, temperature, and motor speed limits to detect faults and protect system components.

In a multiple power source system of the present invention that has an inverter connected to a reactance, such as three-phase coils in a motor, a high voltage battery is connected with a low voltage battery via one transistor (Tr2) and one diode (D2) included in the inverter and one phase coil (U-phase coil) of the three-phase motor. The transistor Tr2 is turned on to make the electric current flow from the low voltage battery to the U-phase coil. The transistor Tr2 is subsequently turned off at a preset timing, so that the electric energy accumulated in the reactance, that is, the U-phase coil, flows through the diode D1 into the high voltage battery and thereby charges the high voltage battery. This arrangement enables the charging process from the low voltage battery to the high voltage battery without any complicated circuit structure for the voltage step-up. The three-phase motor may be unipolar driven with transistors connected to one side of the inverter. The arrangement of the present invention does not require any complicated structure, which undesirably increases the size of the multiple power source system, in order to ensure mutual supplement of the electric energy between electric systems having a large difference in voltage, for example, an electric system for driving a hybrid vehicle and an electric system for its control circuit.

A method and system for enhancing communication signals in a power-line communications system, which uses high-voltage or medium-voltage power lines as a transmission medium. Because communication signals are subject to attenuation as they traverse the power-lines over a long distance, they are repeated and amplified by repeaters along the power-lines. The repeated signals are caused to interfere among themselves because of the delay and overlap of signals. By optically or wirelessly conveying communication signals between two phase-lines, and repeating signals in a phase-line hopping fashion, the distance between two adjacent repeaters on any one phase-line can be significantly extended in order to reduce interference.

The invention relates to a distribution network ground fault arc suppression method based on three-phase cascade H bridge converters. The three-phase cascade H bridge converters are adopted to replace arc suppression coils and mounted between phase lines and the ground, and power is supplied to capacitors on the direct current side of the converters by using phase voltages, so that boosting transformers and grounding transformers are saved, and the problem of source taking difficulty on the direct current side of the converters is solved. The converters inject current to a distribution network in a phase splitting mode to compensate the total current of a ground fault to be zero or to inhibit the phase voltage of the fault to be zero, so that the arc is automatically extinguished; and the reference compensation current is calculated by using real-time measured zero sequence voltage, so that the fault phase identification link is saved. The operation is simplified by using the voltage arc suppression method of controlling the zero sequence voltage to adjust the injected compensation current. In view of the influence of circuit parameters and load current on the arc suppression effect and the deduced relation between the ground fault residual current after the voltage arc suppression method is applied and the zero sequence voltage after the fault, an adaptive arc suppression method is put forward by using the zero sequence voltage as a voltage and current arc suppression method.

A steady state control method for a three-phase double-mode inverter. Off-grid steady state control is composed of outer loop power droop control, voltage feed-forward quasi-resonant control, and inner current loop dead-beat control. Therefore, the response speed of the inverter is raised, and the influence caused by the load fluctuation of a micro-grid is inhibited. Based on the off-grid steady state control, grid-connected steady state control introduces phase lead control to the power droop control. Therefore, the output voltage of the inverter is always slightly ahead of the power grid voltage, which avoids the energy pour backward phenomenon of the inverter due to a phase error, and realizes stable and reliable running in the grid-connected mode.
