  • Patent number: 5959429
    Abstract: When an induction motor is variable-speed-controlled via an electric power converting circuit, the magnetic flux of the induction motor is modulated by adding an alternating current signal to, for example, a magnetizing current command. For example, the component depending on the slip frequency of the induction motor is extracted by an extracting means from at least one of the amounts of changes of the voltage, the electric current, and the magnetic flux, which are caused by the modulation of the magnetic flux. The amount of the voltage or the electric current supplied to the motor, etc. is controlled based on the extracted component via an adjusting unit and a control means, thereby implementing superior control of the induction motor.

  • Patent number: 5892668
    Abstract: A noise-cut filter device for a power converter, including at least one noise-cut filter, for filtering switching noise occurring upon a switching operation of a semiconductor switching device of the power converter is disclosed. In this filter device, the noise-cut filter includes first and second planar conductors, and a dielectric sheet having upper and lower surfaces on which the first and second conductors are disposed to face each other through the dielectric sheet. The first and second planar conductors cooperate with the dielectric sheet to form a circuit having both functions of an inductor and a condenser. The current of a main circuit of the power converter flows through the opposite ends of the first planar conductor, while the current based on the switching noise, which flows from the first conductor to the second conductor, is led to ground by the second conductor.
