Publication number: 20230188076Abstract: According to one embodiment, a motor drive apparatus includes a first inverter, a second inverter, and a controller. This controller rotationally moves, at the time of startup of a motor, a rotor of the motor to an initial position by DC excitation of supplying DC exciting currents from the first and second inverters to the phase windings of the motor and, after this rotational movement, PWM-controls switching of the first and second inverters in such a manner that a rotational speed of the rotor becomes a target rotational speed. Then, the controller carries out the DC excitation fey which a zero-axis current in each of the phase windings becomes approximately zero.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 3, 2023Publication date: June 15, 2023Inventors: Masaya Nogi, Masayuki Yoshimura
