  • Patent number: 11469692
    Abstract: A converter controller configured to control a firing phase of a converter includes an integral element integrating a deviation of DC current from a current command value and generates a voltage command value of output voltage of the converter by performing control calculation of the deviation. In a first mode of performing commutation of an inverter by intermittently setting DC current to zero, the converter controller sets DC current to zero for a predetermined pause time by narrowing a phase control angle simultaneously with a commutation command for the inverter. When the control calculation is resumed immediately after the pause time, the converter controller uses a control amount calculated in control calculation immediately before the pause time as a preset value of the integral element immediately after the pause time.
