Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method for sizing components of a motor control system configured to be powered by each of a first and second power supply, the method comprising: receiving a first nominal line voltage parameter for the first power supply; receiving a second nominal line voltage parameter for the second power supply, wherein the second nominal line voltage parameter is different from the first nominal line voltage parameter; determining a first performance measure of the motor control system based on the first nominal line voltage parameter; determining a second performance measure of the motor control system based on the second nominal line voltage parameter; identifying components, using the first and second performance measures, that are configured for use in the motor control system when powered by each of a first and second power supply; and wherein the number of performance measures used to identify components that are configured for use in the motor control system is only equal to the number of power supplies for use with the motor control system.
