AI Thread Summary
Field Oriented Control (FOC) utilizes a PI controller where the inputs are phase currents and outputs are voltages, specifically iSqref and iSdref converted into Vsqref and VSdref. The controller mimics the physical motor system, which takes voltage as input and produces current as output, based on the motor's transfer function. This design allows the controller to track the reference current effectively. A user seeks clarification on whether they need to implement additional information from a provided link to understand this process better. Understanding the relationship between voltage and current in the context of FOC is crucial for effective controller design.

I have seen in several documents on field oriented control for example in the below document. The inputs to the PI controller are phase currents but the outputs are voltages that is iSqref and iSdref is converted into Vsqref and VSdref. How the current signals are automatically converted to voltage signals I expected them to be current signals. Please help.

Hi,
The controller is normally designed in such a way that it acts like a mirror image of the physical system it is going to control. In this case, the physical system i.e, the motor takes voltage as input and its response is measured as current. We know the mathematical model of the motor (transfer function between voltage and current). From this information, the controller (whether it is PI controller or some other type) can be designed to do exactly the opposite such that the reference quantity (in this case, the current) can be tracked.
 
I used to be an HVAC technician. One time I had a service call in which there was no power to the thermostat. The thermostat did not have power because the fuse in the air handler was blown. The fuse in the air handler was blown because there was a low voltage short. The rubber coating on one of the thermostat wires was chewed off by a rodent. The exposed metal in the thermostat wire was touching the metal cabinet of the air handler. This was a low voltage short. This low voltage...
Hey guys. I have a question related to electricity and alternating current. Say an alien fictional society developed electricity, and settled on a standard like 73V AC current at 46 Hz. How would appliances be designed, and what impact would the lower frequency and voltage have on transformers, wiring, TVs, computers, LEDs, motors, and heating, assuming the laws of physics and technology are the same as on Earth?
Thread 'How Does Jaguar's 1980s V12 Dual Coil Ignition System Enhance Spark Strength?'
I have come across a dual coil ignition system as used by Jaguar on their V12 in the 1980's. It uses two ignition coils with their primary windings wired in parallel. The primary coil has its secondary winding wired to the distributor and then to the spark plugs as is standard practice. However, the auxiliary coil has it secondary winding output sealed off. The purpose of the system was to provide a stronger spark to the plugs, always a difficult task with the very short dwell time of a...
