  • Patent number: 11705850
    Abstract: A rotating electrical machine control system that controls an alternating-current rotating electrical machine having two coil sets of an N phase arranged on the same stator core includes a first inverter, a second inverter, and an inverter control device that individually controls the two inverters such that currents of different phases flow through the two coil sets. The inverter control device stops the second inverter and performs switching control of the first inverter to convert electric power between a direct current and an alternating current of an N phase, or performs switching control of the two inverters to convert electric power between a direct current and alternating currents of 2N phases. Switching devices included in the first inverter have a shorter transition time between an off state and an on state and smaller switching loss than switching devices included in the second inverter.
