Abstract

See full text

A tachometer for a generator is disclosed. The tachometer may include a plurality of filters configured to receive a plurality of generator phase signals, a plurality of zero-cross detectors, and a logic circuit. The filters may be configured to convert each phase signal into a corresponding filtered signal. The zero-cross detectors may be configured to generate pulse signals responsive to zero-crossings detected in each filtered signal. The logic circuit may be in communication with each zero-cross detector and configured to receive the pulse signals. The logic circuit may logically combine the pulse signals into a combined signal, and generate a tachometer signal based on the combined signal, wherein the tachometer signal corresponds to a rotational speed of the generator.
