AI Technical Summary
In existing elevator systems, after the energy storage unit is fully charged, the traction machine continues to charge the energy storage unit, causing the DC bus voltage to rise, triggering overvoltage protection, and causing the elevator system to malfunction.
In the elevator system, a braking resistor is introduced in series with a switch. By monitoring the DC bus voltage and controlling the switch to conduct when preset conditions are met, the braking resistor is connected to the DC bus, consuming the electrical energy generated by the traction machine and avoiding overvoltage protection.
This effectively avoids overvoltage protection being triggered by excessive DC bus voltage, ensuring the reliable operation of the elevator system.
