Furthermore, the welded bellows (15) works as a sealing member of blocking a liquid leaked out through the O-ring (14), thereby achieving assured liquid tightness.

Abstract: A feedback control switching unit of an inverter control unit selects, based on a magnitude relationship between a predetermined switching determination amount and at least one switching threshold, at least one of feedback control units to thereby execute switching among feedback control modes, such as a current feedback control mode and a torque feedback control mode, of the respective feedback control units for driving of the AC motor. A switching command generating unit generates a switching command for an inverter based on a manipulated variable calculated by the selected feedback control unit. When a torque response request determining unit determines that a required torque responsiveness is high, the feedback control switching unit reduces the number of executions of switching among the feedback control modes.
