Problems solved by technology

However, in some applications it may not be desirable to trip the drive, so it is desirable to have techniques that allow the system to operate in boost mode without shutting down
Also, in order to sense an increase in temperature due to various reasons (such as to detect if the system blower fan is stopped while driving at full load), such a thermal switch may be placed at a distance from the inductor core, so the thermal switch may Inability to quickly detect overheating in the filter inductor core
Adding multiple thermal switches can solve this problem, but this approach further increases the cost and complexity of the system

Abstract

Methods and apparatus are presented for controlling a power converter to protect input filter inductors from overheating, in which an active front end (AFE) rectifier is operated in a boost mode to provide a boosted DC voltage at a derated output current value selected according to the DC bus voltage boost amount corresponding to a maximum load condition for which the filter inductors will not overheat.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of power conversion technology, and more particularly to methods and apparatus for boost mode derating. Background technique [0002] A power conversion system is used to provide alternating current (AC) output power to a load (eg, a motor drive driving an AC motor with an inverter stage). Active front-end (AFE) converters use switching rectifiers to convert input AC power to provide DC power to the bus, and inverter switches to convert the DC bus to output current for driving loads. Such an active front-end converter is usually coupled with an input filter (such as an LCL filter circuit connected to each power phase). Because the front-end rectifier is a switching circuit, the input filter operates to prevent unwanted harmonic content from being introduced into the grid or other input sources. Filter components, including filter inductors, are often designed based on power converter ratings, where oversizi...
