Hi @User22872 ,

 

You can try changing the P_LIMIT_3000 ( 3050u) to P_LIMIT_3400 ( 3450u) to scale the power limit to 3.4KW 

Please find the image for Q format calculation.

For Scaling up to 3.4 KW please change the respective current and voltage values within the software. Please ensure ADC configuration to measure current and voltage to scale up to 3.4 KW from 3 KW.

 

Thanks,

Krupashankar

hi krupashankar,

This is rakesh . replying you from a new myinfineon account.

I am using  xmc1300 (xmc1302 -T038x0200 )development board for PFC stage in 3.4kW onboard EV charger. The max dc bus voltage at LLC stage is 64v and the  max current rating is 53A.  How to scale this 3.4kW power limit , so that I can use it in the software calculations. I am using DAVE 4.4.2 VERSION.

Thank you for replying,

Could you please mention which formula you have used to calculate  P_LIMIT_3400  value as  (3450u)

Hi @Rakesh_rp ,

From the code snippet you have shared we could see for power limit of 3KW a value of 3000 is used , for 3.4 KW the max value is calculated as 3400 It turns to be a maximum value with a cross product of current and voltage which is scaled to Q format. Could you please share the code which will help us in determining the calculation.

If it is an example code please share the version 

 

Thanks,

Krupashankar
