    Although the frequency conversion velocity modulation has its superiority in each aspect, but its early expensive construction cost and the reliable question cause many users to shrink back at the sight. Reduces the construction cost and enhances the reliability exchanges the frequency conversion velocity modulation important topic.

    In the late-1990s this article in view of the general low power exchange asynchronous motor frequency conversion velocity modulation’s request, used multi-purpose high integration rate special-purpose SPWM which only then promoted control chip SA866 and intelligent power module PS21255 has developed one kind of new general frequency changer.

    2 system designs

    2.1 hardware circuits

    We develop the low power general frequency changer, uses the single phase AC power supply, after rectification filter sends in the contravariant bridge, inverts again by the contravariant bridge this direct current three-phase VVVF (variablevoltagevariablefrequency) the power source, actuates the electrical machinery. The overall system divides into the main circuit and the control circuit two parts. System constitution diagram as shown in Figure 3.

        The main circuit uses the diode rectification, the large capacity electrolysis electric capacity filter, the IPM module electric circuit’s hard core, it contains 6 IGBT to constitute the three-phase contravariant bridge primarily, and has own driving circuit and the protection circuit respectively, the entire module also has the short circuit and the control circuit undervoltage protection function. Its input may the compatible TTL level input.

    The control circuit mainly has the control supply and as the core SPWM wave has and the driving circuit take SA866. The control supply uses 7805 and 7815 provides the cocurrent voltage-stabilized source. SA866AE through 10 d/as converter and the external connection forward and reverse direction foot, may realize the rotational speed continual adjustment and the forward and reverse cut. All operational factor, including the carrier frequency, the profile, the minimum pulse width, the dead area pulse width and the V/f curve and so on is through the external connection EEPROM programming. Because the input voltage and the feedback energy will directly reflect on the direct-current link, therefore, overall system’s voltage electric current examination and the protection sample concentrate in the direct-current link. The actuation inversion bridge must the PWM signal provides by ASIC chip SA866, after reverse gives the IPM module.

    EEPROM selects 93LC46, it only need the 5V voltage then work. But repeatedly scratches writes 106 times. This chip’s seal form is DIP-8, VCC and VSS respectively are the 5V mains input positive and negative ends, CLK is the clock signal input end, DI is the data input end, DO is the data out-port, ORG is the internal data memory structure, carries on 8 or 16 choices. Will need to establish the parameter reads in EEPROM, the system when on electricity automatically from EEPROM senate digital read-in SA866, rests on the senate digit which establishes, the system produces the corresponding pulse waveform to use for to control in the main circuit the module to open or the pass.

    2.2 parameter computations and hypothesis

    1) the carrier frequency (CFS) carrier frequency is the external connection clock rate and a percentage coefficient N function, the N decimal base value by an initialization register’s in 3 CFS character decision. Carrier frequency fCARR (1) decided by the type.

    fCARR=fCLK/(512×2 n 1)    (1)

    In the formula: fCLK is the clock input frequency, this system selects the crystal oscillator is 20MHz. Takes n=1, CFS=001, actual fCARR==9.766kHz.

        2) output the supply frequency scope (FRS) frequency range to give the output frequency on limiting value. The frequency range fRANCE=fCARR×2m/384, takes m=1, namely FRS=(001)B.

    3) dead time (tpdy) tpdy= (63-PDY)/(fCARR×512); PDY between 0~63, takes PDY=37= (100101) B; Then actual tpdy=(26/26.2144)5μs=4.959μs.

    4) the pulse cancels time (PDT) after the modulation the SPWM pulse width may be very small, but in fact, too small pulse width not useful, because the time is excessively short, the power tube has not had opens completely with enough time has shut down, only increased power tube’s loss, cut system’s efficiency. The pulse cancels the time tpd=(127-PDT)/(fCARR×512); According to this formula, if defines the minimum width as 3μs, the minimum pulse width is tpd-tpdy actually, then tpd=7.959μs, may result in PDT=85.272, takes PDT=85= (1010101) B, therefore, actual tpd=8.01μs, pulse minimum width for tpd-tpdy=8.01μs-4.959μs=3.051μs.

    5) the profile chooses SA866AE to have three kind of standard wave patterns to supply the choice, namely pure wave, sine wave band triple frequency (enlargement mode) and belt dead area triple frequency (highly effective). The profile uses the symmetrical technology to guarantee that each power tube’s clear angle is the same. This system selects the belt triple frequency the sine wave to take the modulating wave, namely has: WS= (01) B.

    6) the V/f curve controls FC to use for to determine that is the linear law or the ventilator law, this system hypothesis work in linearity curve condition, namely FC=0. Figure 4 is the straight characteristic which SA866AE/AM provides. PED is 8 parameters, uses for to determine when the frequency is 0 on electrical machinery’s voltage. If establishes PED=255, then the VVVF straight characteristic is useless. Pedestal(%)=PED×100/255, this system’s starting value hypothesis is 10%, may result in PED=25.5, takes 25, actual Pedestal(%)=9.8. GRAD is a 8 binary number, decides the permanent torque area curve the slope, according to base frequency and PED value computation: GRAD=(255-PED)×fRANGE/(16×fbase); GRAD255, takes fbase=50Hz; Then has GRAD=15= (1111) B.

    7) other parameters, because in the linearity curve does not use KAY, in this KAY= (0000000) B; A/D transforms zero threshold value controlled variable ZTH= (00) B; Results in CHKSUM= the above all senate digit after the statistics (001) B. AWS= (0000) B.

    May obtain the parameter distribution list like table by the above computation 1 to arrange in order.
