In an embodiment of the present disclosure, a heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration (HVAC&R) system includes a refrigerant loop and a compressor disposed along the refrigerant loop. The compressor is configured to circulate refrigerant through the refrigerant loop. The HVAC&R system also includes a motor configured to drive the compressor and a variable speed drive (VSD) configured to supply power to the motor. The VSD further includes a first power pod configured to supply a first power to the motor and a second power pod configured to supply a second power to the motor.

A control device according to the present invention is provided with a data acquisition unit configured to acquire data on at least an operating state of an industrial machine, a learning model storage unit configured to store a learning model in which the value of a setting action for a base speed of a servomotor for peak cut is associated with the operating state of the industrial machine, and a decision making unit configured to settle the setting action for the base speed of the servomotor for peak cut based on the data on the operating state of the industrial machine acquired by the data acquisition unit, by using the learning model stored in the learning model storage unit.

Systems and methods are provided for braking a translator of a linear multiphase electromagnetic machine. The system detects a fault event, and in response to detecting the fault event, causes the translator to brake using an electromagnetic technique. Braking includes causing the translator to stop reciprocating, by applying a force opposing an axial motion, which may occur within one cycle, or over many cycles. The fault event may include, for example, a fault associated with an encoder, a controller, an electrical component, a communications link, a phase, or a subsystem. The system includes a power electronics system configured to apply current to the phases. The system may use position information, current information, operating parameters, or a combination thereof to brake. Alternatively, the system need not use position information, current information, and operating parameters, and may brake the translator independent of such information.

A dual-voltage brushless motor (30) includes a casing, a motor shaft (20) rotatably coupled to the casing, a rotor fixedly connected to the motor shaft (20), and a stator (28) configured to face the motor. The rotor contains a plurality of permanent magnets, and the stator (28) includes a first set of winding and a second set of winding. The first winding is electrically isolated from the second winding. The dual-voltage brushless motor (30) is adapted to be driven when the first set of winding receives a first control signal or when the second set of winding receives a second control signal. By configuring two separate motor controllers of the motor, the motor (30) can be operated under different power supplies such as AC power supply and DC power supply. As a result the application of the motor is greatly extended.
