Abstract

See full text

The present invention relates to a motor controller employing bootstrap-capacitor supplies and in particular to the situation where the bootstrap supplies have to be charged, while the motor controller is connected to a spinning and energized motor. The present invention introduces a method of recharging based on choosing a recharging sequence from a set of recharging sequences, where the choice depends on the state of the connected motor and in particular on the back-EMF voltages of the motor.
