Abstract

La présente invention concerne des commandes et des diagnostics d'atténuation d'harmoniques actifs de mécanisme d'entraînement à fréquence variable. Des commandes et des diagnostics donnés à titre d'exemple consistent à faire fonctionner un mécanisme d'entraînement à fréquence variable consistant à convertir une tension de ligne d'entrée CA en une tension CC, générer un signal d'entraînement de moteur à l'aide de la tension CC, et entraîner un moteur électrique à l'aide du signal d'entraînement de moteur. Un signal d'atténuation d'harmoniques est fourni au mécanisme d'entraînement configuré pour atténuer au moins partiellement des harmoniques au cours du fonctionnement du mécanisme d'entraînement. Le signal d'atténuation d'harmoniques est inhibé sur la base de la présence d'une condition d'erreur associée à l'entrée d'entraînement. L'inhibition est terminée sur la base de l'absence de la condition d'erreur. Une condition de défaut de diagnostic est basée sur un certain nombre d'occurrences de la condition d'erreur.
