Abstract
A steady-state analysis is presented of a permanent magnet (PM) synchronous motor drive with a current source inverter (CSI). The torque-speed profile required of the drive is a constant torque region from zero to base speed and a constant power region above base speed. The analysis assumes position feedback control. Optimum control strategies are obtained for the two regions of the torque-speed profile. Using these optimum strategies, performance curves of the drive are predicted and experimentally verified. The time harmonics in the motor are a function of the presence and configuration of the dampers in the motor. An expression is obtained for the equivalent inductance seen by the harmonics for different damper configurations. A Fourier series approach is used to predict the line-to-line voltage waveforms. Even though the presence of the dampers is not essential to the operation of the drive, their presence reduces the voltage spikes present in the line-to-line voltage.
