A microcontroller determines the position of the rotor of a brushless, direct-current motor by determining the time of zero crossing of back electromotive force (EMF) emanating from the non-driven phase winding. The zero crossing point is determined by interpolating voltage differentials that are time stamped. Each voltage differential is the difference between the phase voltage of the phase winding and the motor neutral point voltage. The time of zero crossing is determined without using a comparator and without interrupting the processor at each zero crossing point. The processor interpolates the time of zero crossing independently of when the zero crossing point occurs. A hold signal conductor is connected both to a sample and hold circuit and to the load input lead of a time stamp register. The microcontroller simultaneously captures a phase voltage in the sample and hold circuit and a timer count in the time stamp register.

The invention discloses an intelligent dynamic power distribution network neutral-point grounding method and a complete device. The complete device comprises a grounding transformer (1), an arc suppression loop switch (2), a resistance loop switch (3), an adjustable reactor (4), a damping resistor (5), a damping resistor short-circuit switch (6), a resistor (7), a neutral-point voltage transformer (8) and a computer testing and control system (9). The intelligent dynamic power distribution network neutral-point grounding method and the complete device is technically characterized in that a power distribution network neutral-point grounding mode is dynamically converted from an arc suppression coil grounding mode into a small-resistance grounding mode. When the device is connected to a power grid or a power grid operation mode changes, the device firstly works in the arc suppression coil grounding mode. The device measures capacitive current, adjusts inductive current and enables IL-IC to be smaller than or equal to I delta, wherein the I delta is a preset residual current control value. When a single-phase grounding fault of the power grid occurs, the device outputs the inductive current to perform compensation and arc suppression to grounding fault current. If the fault is an instantaneous fault, the fault is eliminated through the compensation and the arc suppression. If the fault is a permanent fault and the grounding fault is still not eliminated after certain time T, the arc suppression coil grounding is converted into the resistance grounding mode, and a fault line is judged and disconnected by detecting zero-sequence current of feeder lines.

To a neutral point of a motor is connected a positive electrode of an auxiliary battery and an auxiliary load. Voltage on a power supply line to the auxiliary load, a neutral point voltage, is detected, and disconnection of the auxiliary battery is determined when an increase of ripples in the neutral point voltage is detected. When a voltmeter cannot be used, control of the neutral point voltage is continued by measuring current of the auxiliary battery and performing control such that the current value becomes 0. A resolver is further provided on the motor for detecting the rotor angle with high accuracy. A control circuit generates, in accordance with an output of the resolver, a voltage control signal for each phase current having the same amplitude as the carrier amplitude during startup, and compares the voltage control signal to carrier to obtain a gate signal having the same frequency as the carrier frequency. In switching of the inverter, due to this gate signal, periods in which all phases are on or off are reduced, thereby preventing a large neutral point current.

The invention relates to a neutral-point voltage balance and common-mode voltage suppression method for a three-level inverter, and mainly provides a novel visual space vector modulation (VSVM) method. The method comprises the following steps: defining a new visual zero vector to just include zero vector 000; defining a novel visual small vector to be composed of an original negative small vector and two negative small vectors adjacent to the original negative small vector; and defining a new visual medium vector to be composed of an original medium vector and two medium vectors adjacent to the original medium vector. By using the space vector definition method, each composite vector cannot cause neutral-point voltage to be fluctuated, and basic vectors forming the novel visual space vector do not include positive small vectors and zero vector PPP and NNN, so that the output common-mode voltage is relatively small. When external nonlinear factors enable the neutral-point voltage to be fluctuated, on the basis of a new visual space vector modulation strategy, the action time distribution factors for each composite vector are appropriately adjusted by comparing the size of three-phase load current, so that neutral-point voltage balance is controlled.
