Description

Technical Field

[0002] As early as the 1940s, foreign scholars conducted in-depth research on magnetic bearings. Magnetic bearings are a bearing device that uses electromagnetic force to suspend the rotor, achieving contactless operation between the rotor and the stator. This allows no mechanical contact between the rotor and the stator, so that the rotor and the stator do not require lubrication, have good stability, long service life, and are pollution-free. Magnetic bearings have also gradually replaced traditional mechanical bearings and are generally used in technical fields such as energy storage flywheels and aviation equipment.

[0003] A magnetic bearing system can be formed by a rotor, a sensor, a controller and an electromagnetic actuator. The magnetic bearing control system determines the performance of the entire device. Generally, the power amplifier converts the control signal into the current in the winding to control the electromagnetic force of the magnetic bearing. The power amplifier is an important part of the magnetic bearing system.

[0004] At present, the power amplifier of magnetic bearings is mainly two-level. However, with the increase of the power level of the magnetic bearing system, the EMI problem of the system has become increasingly prominent.
