Abstract
A current control apparatus includes an instructor for providing a DC amplitude instruction and an AC phase instruction, and a cycloconverter for supplying an induction motor with AC load currents. These load currents are detected by sensors. The sensed signals from the sensors are applied to a detector. The detector generates a DC phase error signal and a DC amplitude signal according to the load currents and the phase instruction. The amplitude instruction, amplitude signal and phase error signal are applied to a comparator circuit. The comparator circuit generates a first voltage instruction and a second voltage instruction. These first and second voltage instructions are applied to a control circuit. The control circuit supplies the cycloconverter with voltage instructions. The comparator circuit, control circuit, cycloconverter, sensors and detector constitute a closed DC feedback control loop which utilizes a vector control method.
