where, ab and a are the dc components of the motor line
voltage vab and phase current ia , respectively, when a dc bias
is injected between phase a and b, phase b and c, of a Yconnected ac motor. However, since power diodes are
typically used to create the dc bias in this approach, dc bias
can only be injected continuously and the magnitude of the
injected dc bias can not be adjusted online, which induces
continuous and uncontrollable torque pulsation and extra heat
dissipation in both the power diodes and also the motor itself.
One novel approach to resolve these design limitations is
by use of a newly developed signal-injection-based active
thermal protection technique. To minimize the torque pulsation
and heat dissipation caused by the injected dc bias,
controllable dc signals are intermittently injected to estimate
the stator temperature. The period of stator temperature
update depends on the requirement of practical applications.
Active thermal protection approaches have been proposed by
the authors for different applications: ac line-started motors
[25, 26], soft-starter-connected motors [27, 28], and inverterfed motors [29]. These techniques are capable of providing
accurate and non-invasive thermal protection of ac motors,
with adaptation to the changes in a motors cooling capability.
