General purpose 100% solid state Direct Current drive for rotary DC
machines with four quadrants operation. It is to say that allows the
rotary DC machine to act like motor or generator in the two direction of
possible rotation. In the first and third quadrant as motor in both
direction of possible rotation, and in the second and fourth quadrant
like regenerative brake DC generator, recovering the energy towards the
DC network supply.To obtain that generalized control for DC machines of
any type, the invention subject of this patent, is based on the
interaction of two original ideas that they are: (1) Maintaining the
direction of the current in one and only one of the two main windings of
the DC machine (7) either field or armature, by means of a rectifier
bridge (6). (2) Use a DC controlled power supply (14), with reversible
polarity to feed the complete machine.
