- the subject matter disclosed herein relates to motor control systems, particularly motor control systems in cooling systems.
- FIG. 1 illustrates a prior art example of a motor control system.
- the system includes a variable frequency drive (VFD) 102 connected to an alternating current (AC) power source 104.
- the VFD 102 includes a rectifier 106 connected to a direct current (DC) bus 108, an inverter 110 and a VFD controller 109.
- the inverter is connected to a chiller motor 112.
- a motor controller 114 is mechanically connected to a chiller compressor 116 and is communicatively connected to the AC power source 104 and the chiller motor 112 via the VFD controller 109 and the inverter 110.
- the rectifier 106 receives AC power from the AC power source 104 and rectifies the AC power to DC power.
- the DC bus 108 includes a capacitor that stores a capacitive charge and outputs DC power to the inverter 110.
- the inverter converts the DC power to AC power and drives the chiller motor 112.
- the motor controller 114 receives AC power from the AC power source 104 and sends control signals to control the chiller motor 112.
- a chiller system includes a motor, a motor controller connected to the motor, the motor controller operative to send a control signal to the motor, a rectifier connected to an alternating current (AC) power source, the rectifier operative to receive AC power and output direct current (DC) power, a DC bus connected to the rectifier, a first inverter connected to the DC bus and the motor, the first inverter operative to receive DC power from the DC bus and output AC power to the motor, and a second inverter connected to the DC bus operative to receive DC power and output AC power to the motor controller.
- AC alternating current
- DC direct current
- a method for controlling a system includes receiving alternating current (AC) power from an AC power source, rectifying the AC power into direct current (DC) power, charging a capacitor with the DC power, inverting DC power from the capacitor into AC power, and outputting AC power to a chiller motor and a motor controller.
- AC alternating current
- DC direct current
- a chiller system includes a variable frequency drive unit connected to an alternating current (AC) power source, a chiller motor connected to the variable frequency drive unit, the chiller motor operative to receive AC power from the variable frequency drive unit, an inverter connected to the variable frequency drive unit, the inverter operative to receive DC power from the variable frequency drive unit and output AC power, and a motor controller connected to the inverter and the chiller motor, the motor controller operative to receive AC power from the inverter and send a control signal to the chiller motor.
- AC alternating current

- the chiller motor 212 is connected to the VFD 202 and the motor controller 214 via the VFD controller 209 and the inverter 210.
- the motor controller 214 may send control signals to the chiller motor 212 directly via the inverter 210, bypassing the VFD controller 209.
- the rectifier 206 receives AC power from the AC power source 204.
- the rectifier 206 rectifies the AC power into DC power that charges the capacitor in the DC bus 208.
- the inverter 210 receives DC power from the capacitor in the DC bus 208 and outputs AC power to drive the chiller motor 212.

- the motor controller 214 sends control signals to the chiller motor 212 via the VFD controller 209.
- the chiller motor mechanically drives the chiller compressor unit 216.
- the motor controller 214 may send control signals directly to the chiller motor 212, bypassing the VFD controller 209.
- the capacitive charge stored in the capacitor in the DC bus 208 continues to supply DC power to the inverters 210 and 213 that output AC power to the chiller motor 212 and the motor controller 214 respectively.
- Supplying both the chiller motor 212 and the motor controller 214 with power from the same source— the capacitor in the DC bus 208— allows both the motor controller 214 and the chiller motor 212 to continue synchronous operation in the event of a loss of AC power.
- the capacitor in the DC bus 208 is sized to store a capacitive charge that may drive the chiller motor 212 and power the motor controller 214 for approximately 5-15 minutes in the event of a loss of AC power.
- the parameters described above are mere examples. Alternate systems may include any appropriate design parameters depending on power specifications.
