Patent number: 8674647Abstract: Provided is a drive device for an alternating current motor which performs vector control on sensorless driving of the alternating current motor in an extremely low speed region without applying a harmonic voltage intentionally while maintaining an ideal PWM waveform. A current and a current change rate of the alternating current motor are detected, and a magnetic flux position inside of the alternating current motor is estimated and calculated in consideration of an output voltage of an inverter which causes this current change. The current change rate is generated on the basis of a pulse waveform of the inverter, and hence the magnetic flux position inside of the alternating current motor can be estimated and calculated without applying a harmonic wave intentionally.Type: GrantFiled: February 18, 2011Date of Patent: March 18, 2014Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Yoshitaka Iwaji, Daigo Kaneko, Kouki Yamamoto
