Abstract
A motor control system includes a motor switching assembly comprising a power converter positioned on a converter path, a first relay positioned on the converter path upstream of the power converter, a second relay positioned on a bypass path that is in parallel with the converter path, and a solid-state switching unit positioned upstream from the converter path and the bypass path. The motor control system also includes a control system that controls operation of the motor switching assembly, with the control system programmed to operate the solid-state switching unit in one of a conducting mode, a non-conducting mode, and a ramping mode, so as to selectively control and condition power flow therethrough. The control system is also programmed to control switching of the first and second relays between open and closed positions to selectively route power along the converter path or the bypass path.
