  • Patent number: 9570972
    Abstract: A CR snubber circuit capable of increasing a reduction effect of the effective inductance component and suppressing a ringing component generated at the time of switching the switching element is obtained. A first current path formed on one surface of the substrate and a second current path formed on the other surface, which is the opposite side of the one surface of the substrate, are opposed to each other with the substrate being sandwiched therebetween, and the capacitor 5 and the resistor 6 are arranged such that current flows in opposite directions in the first current path and the second current path, and a band elimination filter is formed by the capacitor 5, the resistor 6, and an effective inductance component obtained by coupling an inductance component included in the first current path and an inductance component included in the second current path.

  • Patent number: 9099906
    Abstract: An inverter that drives a motor and a noise filter are arranged on a surface of a motor housing, and the inverter and the noise filter are integrated with the motor housing. The noise filter reduces a common-mode current generated by a switching operation of the inverter to flow out to a side of a three-phase power supply through the motor housing.

  • Publication number: 20130221895
    Abstract: A motor drive circuit that performs PWM driving of an AC motor includes: rectifying circuit that rectifies power from an AC power supply; a DC intermediate circuit that smoothes an output of the rectifying circuit and holds the smoothed output; an inverter circuit that executes a PWM control of a voltage applied to the AC motor based on DC power held in the DC intermediate circuit; and a filter circuit that is inserted between the AC power supply and the rectifying circuit, wherein the filter circuit includes a noise filter that is inserted between the AC power supply and the rectifying circuit and reduces harmonic noise, and a band elimination filter that is arranged at a posterior stage of the noise filter and reduces harmonic noise having a bandwidth, which can be generated by the PWM control.
