Title: Mitigating thermal sensitivity in a multiple-phase motor
Inventor: PAUL CHRISTOPHER ROBERTS
IPC: G01R19/32
Filed: 2016-12-02
Abstract: Generating an estimate of driving current using a thermal calibration profile derived from simultaneous measurements of temperature and Hall voltage during circuit 100 connection and disconnection. Circuit disconnection and connection measurements are preferably during start-up and during a period of motor disconnection, respectively. The circuit temperature is measured using a temperature sensor 118. Hall voltage readings via a current sensor 114 comprising a Hall sensor. The concurrently measured temperature and Hall voltage readings taken while the circuit is open and closed are sent to a controller 106. The controller determines a thermal calibration profile from the received temperature and Hall voltage readings taken during circuit connection and disconnection. A measured driving current is calibrated using the thermal calibration profile, and an estimate of the driving current is generated using the thermally calibrated measured driving current. Preferably, a driver 102 generates the driving current for each phase 108 of the multiple phase motor 104. The thermal calibration profile is linear, and the measured driving current of a phase is calibrated by deducting a linear offset from each driving current reading of the current sensor of that phase.
