Abstract

See full text

A dual-drive electric motor control system configured to drive a first electric motor and a second electric motor is provided. The system includes a shared front-end motor drive circuit for converting AC input voltage from an AC voltage source to a DC-link voltage. A first control system has a first inverter coupled to the shared front-end motor drive circuit, and a first switch device configured to couple the AC voltage source directly to the first electric motor. The system further includes a second control system having a second inverter coupled to the shared front-end motor drive circuit, and a second switch device configured to couple the AC voltage source directly to the second electric motor.
