  • Publication number: 20230299700
    Abstract: The present invention achieves highly accurate control characteristics by estimating an induced voltage coefficient of a magnet motor without rotary auto-tuning. A first power Pc is calculated on the basis of the output voltage and output current of the magnet motor, and a second power Pc{circumflex over (?)} is calculated on the basis of the electric circuit constant, current command, output frequency, and induced voltage coefficient of the magnet motor. The induced voltage coefficient is estimated so that the calculated first power follows the second power, and the driving of the magnet motor is controlled in accordance with the induced voltage coefficient.

  • Patent number: 6169670
    Abstract: An inverter apparatus operatable over an extended output frequency range having an increased upper limit with error contained in the output voltage being suppressed by eliminating dispersions of PWM pulse signals. A PWM command pulse signal and an output voltage detection signal derived from the output of the inverter are compared straightforwardly with each other for determining difference therebetween on the basis of which error contained in the inverter output voltage is canceled. An isolation device for isolating electrically a low-voltage-rated control circuitry and a high-voltage-rated main circuitry from each other is inserted between a PWM command pulse signal generating circuit and a pulse width correcting circuit.

  • Patent number: 4808933
    Abstract: A signal whose frequency is proportional to a rotational speed of a rotor and whose rising and falling angles near points crossing zero becomes larger with the rotational speed of the rotor is used to produce a first signal of amplitude corresponding to the rising and falling angles and a second signal of amplitude corresponding to the frequency, a difference between the first and second signals is evaluated, and the first or second signals are corrected with the difference.
