2.3.1 Shunt Resistors

The phase currents are sampled by the phase shunt resistance Rshuntphase and the DC bus current is sampled by the DC bus shunt resistance Rshuntbus. Both Rshuntphase and Rshuntbus are 0.025Ω by default.

Normally, the phase currents or DC bus current sample signals are regulated and sent to the ADCs for conversion on the control board.

The range of the current which can be converted is determined by the shunt resistance on the control board. Take the phase current as an example, suppose the range is:

[Irangephase,+Irangephase], then Irangephase×Rshuntphase×Gphase=12AVDD, then Irangephase=AVDD2×Rshuntphase×Gphase.

Where,

Gphase is the regulating circuit’s gain for the phase current sample signal

AVDD is the analog power supply voltage for the ADC.

Gphase and AVDD are fixed for a certain control board, while Rshuntphase can be modified by the user. Therefore, Irangephase is determined by Rshuntphase. The user can modify the Rshuntphase to achieve a desired Irangephase.

Similarly, the user can modify the Rshuntbus to achieve a desired Irangebus.
