  • Publication number: 20240093729
    Abstract: A device (24) for controlling a magnetic bearing (22) includes an axis with two electromagnets (26, 28) diametrically opposed. The device (24) includes two power converters per axis of the magnetic bearing. Each power converter supplies one different electromagnet. The device includes eight power devices (40, 42, 44, 46, 48, 50, 52, 54) arranged in a first line (88) and a second line (90). Each of the first and second lines includes four power devices. A first set of four power devices (40, 42, 44, 46) are connected together to form a first power converter. A second set of four power devices (48, 50, 52, 54) are connected together to form a second power converter. Each of the first and second lines (88, 90) includes two power devices (40, 42, 44, 46) of the first set and two power devices (48, 50, 52, 54) of the second set.

  • Patent number: 10116246
    Abstract: The invention concerns an electrical installation providing an apparatus, a three-phase inverter and a control device, the inverter being adapted for generating a three-phase current presenting a first frequency for operating the apparatus and an undesired frequency component presenting a second frequency. The control device is adapted for measuring a parameter of each phase of the current, the measured parameters forming a measurement vector, and for calculating a Clarke transform, providing a first vector represented in a first basis of a two-dimensional vector space, of the measurement vector. The control device is adapted for generating a representation of the first vector in a second basis of the vector space, the second basis rotating at the second frequency with respect to the first basis.
