A multi-axes industrial processing machine with a multi-axes electrical drive system and at least two axle drives that have each an axle module and a built-in motor is disclosed. The machine further includes an impedance that is transformer-coupled with a supply module through an annular core. Either the phase lines on the AC side of the supply module or the output lines of the DC side of the supply module as well as an additional winding are wound on the annular core. The impedance is connected in parallel to the additional winding.

Multi-axes industrial processing machine

An induction apparatus includes a winding arrangement having a winding start and a winding end for inducing a magnetic field in a magnetizable core; and a lossy, magnetizable device through which and/or about which the winding start and the winding end of the winding arrangement is so disposed as to induce a magnetic flux in the magnetizable device. This arrangement prevents an electric breakdown at the star point of winding strands of synchronous motors.

Induction apparatus with damping feature

A method for reduction of natural system oscillations in an electric motor which is operated using a converter with a voltage intermediate circuit, by periodically decoupling the voltage intermediate circuit (U ) from the supply mains system (N) at times which are synchronized to triggering equipment for the input converter (E), in particular for as long as current is flowing through the mains system input inductor (L ).

Method for reducing natural system oscillations to ground potential in an electrical drive having a voltage intermediate circuit

A system and method for damping of resonant peaks in an electric motor which is operated using a converter with an intermediate voltage circuit, by means of a matched impedance to ground at the motor star point, and a corresponding electric motor is disclosed. In a converter system having an intermediate voltage circuit which operates with a mains system input inductor in the step-up converter mode or has other input-side inductances, there is a risk of natural system oscillations being formed via discharge capacitances in conjunction with motors. If the motor now has an amplitude/frequency response with a pronounced resonant frequency in the region of such natural system oscillations, then there is a risk of higher voltages occurring at the motor star point than in the motor phases. This is prevented by the present invention by a termination of the lattice network, which is formed by the winding sections, in the motor at the motor star point by means of a suitably selected impedance with respect to ground, which advantageously comprises a series circuit formed from a non-reactive resistance and a capacitance.

DAMPING OF RESONANT PEAKS IN AN ELECTRIC MOTOR WHICH IS OPERATED USING A CONVERTER WITH AN INTERMEDIATE VOLTAGE CIRCUIT, BY MEANS OF MATCHED IMPEDANCE TO GROUND AT THE MOTOR STAR POINT, AND A CORRESPONDING ELECTRIC MOTOR

In a converter system having an intermediate voltage circuit which operates with a supply network-side input inductor in the step-converter mode or has other input-side inductances, there is a risk of natural system oscillations being formed via discharge capacitances in conjunction with motors. If the motor now has an amplitude/frequency response with a pronounced resonant frequency in the region of such natural system oscillations, then there is a risk of higher voltages occurring at the motor star point (S) than in the motor phases (I, V, W). This is prevented by the present invention by introducing an impedance (Z), in particular at the input to the motor, in order to damp capacitive discharge currents to ground potential, which are caused by system oscillations (f ) (excited asymmetrically with respect to ground in the motor phases (U, V, W)) of the converter system (L , UR, LT, M) in the winding sections.

DAMPING OR RESONANT PEAKS IN AN ELECTRIC MOTOR WHICH IS OPERATED USING A CONVERTER WITH AN INTERMEDIATE VOLTAGE CIRCUIT, BY MEANS OF A TRANSFORMER-COUPLED DAMPING RESISTANCE, AND A CORRESPONDING ELECTRIC MOTOR

A primary switched-mode power supply unit having an auxiliary power supply for a control unit controlling a primary power circuit breaker connected in series with a first primary winding and a primary voltage regular connected to the control unit. The auxiliary power supply has a secondary primary winding across which a series circuit of a diode and a capacitor is connected. A current limiting circuit breaker is connected between the auxiliary voltage input of the control unit and a ground, the actuating input of said current limiting circuit breaker being connected to an output of an overcurrent controller.

Primary switched-mode power supply unit

The invention concerns a primary switched-mode power supply device with several electrically isolated secondary circuits, the output voltage of the secondary circuit being connected to an actual-value sensor with a regulator connected to the sensor output, with the output voltage being protected by a fuse connected in series with the filter capacitor. In accordance with the invention, the junction point of the filter capacitor and the fuse is connectable by an electrically controlled switch to the output terminal of the actual-value sensor as soon as the switch is turned on after the fuse has been tripped. Thus, a simple embodiment of an over-voltage protection is obtained for a primary switched-mode power supply unit with several electrically isolated secondary circuits, without additional monitoring of an in-phase output voltages A.sub.2 and A.sub.3 and a controlled secondary circuit being controlled in case of a fault to an output voltage that is lower than the normal operating controlled output voltage A.sub.1.
