  • Publication number: 20240072635
    Abstract: There is provided a gate drive circuit that controls a gate voltage applied to a gate terminal of a switching element and drives the switching element. The gate drive circuit includes an overcurrent detection circuit that detects an overcurrent state based on a value of a current flowing through the switching element. A monitor voltage of a power supply line that is connected to the switching element and supplies power to the switching element is input to the overcurrent detection circuit, and the overcurrent detection circuit detects an overvoltage state when the monitor voltage is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold value.

  • Patent number: 8108983
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to the realization of stable electrical connections between coils and a commutator without causing slackening of the coils wound on individual magnetic teeth. An armature of a rotary motor includes an armature core structured splittably into magnetic tooth members which are individually wound by concentrated-winding type coils, and a commutator having the same number of segments as the number of the magnetic tooth members, the individual segments having connecting terminals, wherein an end portion of the coil concentratedly wound on one of the magnetic tooth members is connected generally in a straight line to the connecting terminal of the segment which is located at a position offset in a circumferential direction by a specific angle from the aforementioned one magnetic tooth member, and a conductor line connected to the connecting terminal of the segment is concentratedly wound on another magnetic tooth member adjacent to the aforementioned one magnetic tooth member.
