  • Low-voltage fault-tolerant rotating electromechanical actuators, and associated systems and methods
    Patent number: 11936317
    Abstract: A representative fault-tolerant rotating electromechanical actuator comprises a permanent magnet synchronous motor with first and second windings that each comprise three phases. First and second voltage source inverters (VSI) provide output signals independently with respect to each other. The first VSI provides output signals to drive the three phases of the first winding, and the second VSI provides output signals to drive the three phases of the second winding. The three phases of the first winding are driven simultaneously with the three phases of the second winding. Control electronics monitor signals associated with the three phases of the windings and detect a fault condition within a first phase of the first winding. The control electronics command the first VSI to drive only second and third phases of the first winding while simultaneously commanding the second VSI to drive the three phases of the second winding.
