Abstract

See full text

The electronic commutator circuits provide forced commutation enhancements that can be embedded within a known electronic commutator to overcome its low speed torque limitation. The forced commutation enhancements to the basic switched stage use a pair of thyristors. Capacitors may be pre-charged and synchronized to supplement coil voltages when discharged, thereby reducing commutation overlap duration and maximizing the turn-off time available to allow the thyristors to attain forward blocking capability. A capacitive discharge can be achieved by initiating the capacitive discharge by the same thyristor that will carry the current following the commutation, or by initiating the capacitive discharge by an auxiliary thyristor.
