  • Patent number: 12113456
    Abstract: Embodiments of present disclosure relate to an apparatus and a method for controlling a delta-connected cascaded multilevel converter. The apparatus (100) for controlling a delta-connected cascaded multilevel converter (110) comprises: a converter controller (102) configured to: receive current signals indicating phase currents flowing through respective phase arms of the converter (110); determine a harmonic current signal indicating a circulating current of the converter (110) from the current signals; and generate, based on the determined harmonic current signal and a reference current signal, a harmonic voltage signal to cause an amplitude of the circulating current flowing through the phase arms of the converter (110) to be a predetermined amplitude.

  • Patent number: 11539268
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a motor and an industrial robot. The motor comprises a main body, an inner end cover, an outer end cover, a first oil seal, a second oil seal and an oil leakage sensor. The main body comprises a rotor extending along an axial direction. The inner end cover is coupled to the main body and comprises a first hole for the rotor to pass through. The outer end cover is arranged outside the inner end cover along the axial direction and abuts against the inner end cover. The outer end cover comprises a second hole for the rotor to pass through, wherein a first oil seal is arranged adjacent to the second hole and a second oil seal is arranged inside the first oil seal and is adjacent to the second hole. A gap is provided between the first oil seal and the second oil seal along the axial direction.
