ABNORMALITY WARNING SYSTEM AND WARNING LEVEL SETTING METHOD
An abnormality warning system provides an abnormality warning for multiple motor systems that drive a motor used correspondingly to each of multiple rotors included in an electric aircraft. The abnormality warning system includes an abnormality determination unit and a warning level setting unit. The abnormality determination unit determines an abnormal one of the motor systems. The warning level setting unit sets a warning level to warn abnormality, based on at least position information of the rotor in the electric aircraft or the usage of the rotor corresponding to a motor system determined to be abnormal by the abnormality determination unit.
DRIVE SYSTEM
A master device (10) of a drive system (1) transmits identification information of each first period and a first transmission synchronization signal for each first period of a reference period including a plurality of first periods or transmits identification information of each first period, a first transmission synchronization signal, and a second transmission synchronization signal for each first period of the reference period. A first controller (31) adjusts a phase of each first control period such that the first control period is synchronized with a timing associated with a specific first synchronization signal out of a plurality of first synchronization signals which are acquired by reception of the first transmission synchronization signal a plurality of times using the identification information and controls a first power converter. A second controller (32) adjusts a phase of each second control period such that the second control period is synchronized with a timing associated with a specific second synchronization signal out of a plurality of second synchronization signals which are acquired by one of reception of the first transmission synchronization signal a plurality of times and reception of the second transmission synchronization signal a plurality of times using the identification information and controls a second power converter.
Output inductance value controlling method, apparatus, and computer device for multi-tap reactor
An output inductance value controlling method, apparatus, and computer device for a multi-tap reactor. A single output port of the multi-tap reactor is correspondingly connected to a single relay, and each relay is connected to a general power supply of all air conditioner internal units. When in use, an air conditioning system acquires a motor speed and a phase current of each air conditioner internal unit separately, and then calculates a sum of motor powers of all the air conditioner internal units according to the motor speeds and the phase currents. The system matches a basic inductance value required by the air conditioner internal units according to the sum of motor powers, sets a current output inductance value of the multi-tap reactor according to the basic inductance value, and inputs the output inductance value into the corresponding air conditioner internal units.
