Abstract: The improved motor drive unit includes a zero-crossing voltage detector circuit composed of components (7) to (12) for detecting whether the voltage from an AC power supply (1) is zero-crossing and a switching circuit for performing on-off control by means of a thyristor 27 so as to switch between energization and de-energization of the AC power supply to a motor (2) and controls the speed of the motor by changing the ratio between the times of energization and de-energization of the AC power supply to the motor. The start of energization coincides with the zero-crossing of the AC power supply voltage whereas the timing of end of energization coincides with the zero-crossing of an energization current by means of the thyristor and wherein the energization time is fixed at a value either equal to or twice the power supply period whereas the de-energization time is varied in units that are integral multiples of one half the power supply period.
