Abstract
Motor control apparatus for controlling the speed of a motor as a function of a variable frequency square wave and chopping pulses. The chopping pulses are cut off at some value greater than zero pulse width which causes motor voltage to increase in a step manner thus causing a feed forward voltage signal which is related to a DC rectified voltage which cooperates with the square wave production system to increase accordingly. A hysteresis circuit is provided within the pulse generating means to guarantee that once the pulse generation has stopped it will not increase again as a result of the aforementioned motor voltage rise.
