  • Patent number: 10608566
    Abstract: A control apparatus for a rotary electric machine includes at least one of a first corrector and a second corrector. The first corrector corrects a first command voltage as a function of a deviation between a command value for a field current and an actual value of the field current. The second corrector corrects a second command voltage as a function of a deviation between a command value for a d-axis component of an armature current and an actual value of the d-axis component of the armature current. At least one of the first corrector and the second corrector makes the d-axis component of the armature current and the field current non-interfere with each other.

  • Patent number: 10006784
    Abstract: A correction circuit stores data for obtaining coefficients of a relational expression indicating a relationship between a disturbance magnetic flux and a rotational angle error. Then, the coefficients are obtained from the data for obtaining the coefficients, and a detection result of a magnetic sensor is corrected based on the coefficients obtained, a relational expression, and a detection result of a disturbance magnetic flux detection circuit. Since it is possible to obtain the rotational angle error with respect to the disturbance magnetic flux from the coefficient obtained and the relational expression, it is not necessary to store the data indicating the relationship between the disturbance magnetic flux and the rotational angle error for all of the disturbance magnetic flux value in disturbance magnetic flux regions that may be applied.

  • Patent number: 9979329
    Abstract: In a power converting device, a controller determines a combination pattern of a first energization pattern for the first set of the at least one-phase winding and a second energization pattern for the second set of the at least one-phase winding. The first and second energization patterns respectively include at least a first energization duration for the first set of the at least one-phase winding and a second energization duration for the second set of the at least one-phase winding. The controller supplies a drive pulse signal, whose on duration is based on the determined combination pattern, to the switch to thereby control on-off operations of the switch.

  • Patent number: 9847744
    Abstract: A control unit applied to a motor that includes a rotor having a field winding and a rotor having armature winding groups to control a field current passed through the field winding. Each of the armature winding groups is applied with a prescribed voltage. The field current is controlled so as to be a minimum field current value If_min with which a deviation between an amplitude of an induced voltage generated in the armature winding groups by rotation of the rotor, and an amplitude of the voltage applied to the armature winding groups becomes equal to or smaller than a prescribed value.

  • Patent number: 9748883
    Abstract: A rotating electrical machine has a rotor having a field winding and a stator having an armature winding. A control device adjusts a field current flowing in the field winding and an armature current flowing in the armature winding. The armature current flowing in the armature winding is expressed by using a current vector having a d-axis current and a q-axis current in a d-q coordinate system. In a case in which the control device increases the d-axis current to generate a magnetic flux in a direction which is opposite to a direction to generate a magnetic flux by a field current, the control device gradually reduces the d-axis current during a predetermined period of time after increasing the d-axis current in the direction opposite to the direction to generate the magnetic flux by the field current.

  • Patent number: 9160251
    Abstract: In a rotary electric machine, an on-timing setter sets on-timings of each of a high-side switching element and a low-side switching element for each of at least two three-phase stator windings. An off-timing setter sets off-timings of each of the high-side switching element and the low-side switching element. An off-timing fault determiner determines a fault of an off-timing of a target switching element as one of the high-side switching element and the low-side switching element set by the off-timing setter when a time interval from the off-timing of the target switching element set by the off-timing setter to time when a phase voltage corresponding to the target switching element reaches a threshold after the off-timing thereof is shorter than a preset value.
