  • Publication number: 20130002178
    Abstract: An inverter control device controls the operation of a brushless DC motor selsorlessly. A driving controller of the inverter control device switches commutation of switching elements from control based on a position detection commutation signal to control based on a forced synchronization commutation signal if an output voltage of an inverter circuit section is equal to or greater than a preset threshold and a value of a rotational speed detected by the rotational speed detector is equal to or less than a reference value less than a target value of the rotational speed. The output voltage controller of the inverter control device changes the output voltage control signal based on a phase difference detected by a phase difference detector when the driving controller is controlling commutation of switching elements based on the forced synchronization commutation signal.
