  • Patent number: 5420491
    Abstract: An analog DC link bus voltage in an induction motor drive is converted to a digital DC link bus voltage so that if the DC link bus voltage exceeds an ON voltage threshold of a switch and this condition exists a holding time later, the switch closes, thereby allowing regenerated power in the DC link to be dissipated in a resistor connected across the DC link. And if the DC link bus voltage falls below an OFF voltage threshold and that condition exists a latching time later, the switch is opened so that no regenerated power may be dissipated through the resistor.
