Patents by Inventor Enrico Marodin

Enrico Marodin has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 9871474
    Abstract: A method of synchronizing a synchronous reluctance electric machine wherein the machine has no speed and/or residual magnetization voltage sensor and includes power terminals and rotating masses whose mechanical rotation frequency is subjected to speed transients caused by power cut-off conditions. The method includes at least one step of applying a control voltage with predetermined amplitude and duration to the terminals after the transients, and one step of detecting the electric current induced by the control voltage, the current induced by the voltage having a harmonic spectrum variable according to the frequency differential between the frequency of the control voltage and the mechanical rotation frequency of the rotating masses, to restore power and synchronous rotation control of the machine.

  • Patent number: 8710776
    Abstract: A method for controlling a motor by an inverter and by a vectorial technique, comprising the following steps: determining the value of a quadrature current Iq necessary for said motor to generate the desired torque; calculating the value of a direct current to be supplied to the motor by an equation as a function of the phase of the current vector on which the torque constant of the motor depends; calculating the power current of said motor from the direct current and the quadrature current; supplying the power current to the motor through the inverter.
