  • Multiple supply voltage motor assembly
    Patent number: 10224836
    Abstract: Various embodiments include determining an alternating current (AC) voltage and frequency of a supply voltage coupled to a circuit input. The circuit includes a soft starter circuit that is coupled between the circuit input and a first side of an AC motor. A stator winding configuration of the AC motor is determined. A control transformer is configured in response to the AC voltage and frequency, wherein the control transformer is coupled to the circuit input. A jumper device is configured on a second side of the AC motor in response to the stator winding configuration of the AC motor.

  • Variable frequency drive motor control
    Patent number: 10128782
    Abstract: Various embodiments include a variable frequency drive motor control apparatus. The apparatus includes a main controller having a first interface. A motor controller is coupled to and controls an electric motor, the motor controller further coupled to the main controller. A network switch is coupled to the main controller, the motor controller, and a remote controller over respective digital connections. The remote controller has a second interface. The network switches data between the first interface, the second interface, and the motor controller. A network coupler is coupled between a variable frequency drive controller and the motor controller.
