Phase Current Reconstruction Techniques for Two-Phase Inverters using a Single Current Sensor

This paper proposes phase current reconstruction techniques for two-phase two-leg and two-phase four-leg inverters using a single current sensor. In the proposed methods, one phase current is sampled simultaneously with a particular branch current by using only one current sensor, and then current reconstruction algorithms are applied to extract the information on two phase currents from the sensor output. The sampled current information is periodically updated at the peak and the valley of the triangular carrier waveform in each switching cycle of pulse-width modulation (PWM). The voltage vector spaces where the phase currents can be reconstructed are evaluated. Compared to the existing method using two individual current sensors in two phases, the proposed schemes can save implementation cost since it is possible to remove one current sensor. In addition, the proposed methods are free from gain discrepancy issues between two current sensors. Simulations and experiments show excellent current reconstruction performance of the proposed methods.
