Abstract: A monitoring voltage output unit outputs a monitoring voltage that has a positive correlation with the current flowing through a shunt resistor connected in series with an upper arm element and a lower arm element of each phase. A monitoring circuit monitors an inverter overcurrent abnormality due to an upper arm element or a lower arm element of one or more phases being stuck in an ON state based on the monitoring voltage. A comparator of the monitoring circuit outputs an overcurrent flag of a pulse signal when the monitoring voltage is larger than a reference value. A determination unit determines that an inverter overcurrent is abnormal and stop energization of an inverter, when a cumulative output time of the overcurrent flag of at least one phase reaches a time threshold or when number of outputs of the overcurrent flag reaches a number threshold.

Abstract: A reverse connection protection relay of a power supply device is provided in a power supply line between a battery and an input capacitor and is parallel connected with a diode that allows current flow from a battery side to a power converter side, and interrupts the current flow from the power converter side to the battery side when the protection relay is turned off. At a time of initial check, a booster circuit performs an overboost process in which a target voltage is temporarily raised above a value during normal operation. A precharge circuit applies a boosted voltage to an electrode on a high potential side of the input capacitor. A monitoring circuit detects an abnormal due to being stuck in an ON state or in an OFF state of the protection relay according to a post-relay voltage that is a voltage on the inverter side of the protection relay.

Abstract: A power supply apparatus includes a power converter, pull-up and pull-down resistors, a reverse-connection protective relay, a controller, and a dark current cut switch. The power converter includes upper-arm and lower-arm switching elements being connected in series between a power supply line and a ground line, and converts a DC power of a battery and supplies the converted DC power to a load. The pull-up resistor is connected between the power supply line and a common connection node between the upper-arm and lower-arm switching elements, and the pull-down resistor is connected between the common connection node and a ground. The reverse-connection protective relay cuts off a current from the power converter to the battery. The controller controls the power converter and the reverse-connection protective relay. The dark current cut switch cuts off a dark current flowing to the ground through the pull-up resistor and the pull-down resistor.

Abstract: A magnetic sensor disposed in an axial direction of a shaft of a motor detects the rotation angle of the rotor by detecting magnetism of the magnet that is disposed on one end of the shaft. A first and second conducting wires extend in parallel with an axis of the shaft, and are equidistantly positioned relative to the axis, on a virtual circle that has a center point on the axis of the shaft. The electric current flowing in the first conducting wire and the electric current flowing in the second conducting wire have the same magnitude and the same flow direction with each other at any time. When the first conducting wire and the second conducting wire are on opposite sides relative to the center point of the virtual circle, the magnetic fields around the conducting wires cancel with each other, thereby enabling accurate detection of the rotation angle.
