  • Patent number: 11070143
    Abstract: A power conversion device includes a power conversion circuitry configured to convert DC power into AC power by switching on/off a plurality of switching elements to switch each of a plurality of phase voltages to a voltage level selected from one of three levels including a first voltage, a second voltage higher than the first voltage, and a third voltage higher than the second voltage. A control circuitry is configured to control the plurality of switching elements so as to convert DC power into AC power without producing a combination of the first voltage and the third voltage between any two phases of the plurality of phase voltages.

  • Patent number: 8084974
    Abstract: There is provided an inverter device capable of simplifying the circuit structure, lowering the cast, and downsizing of the device. The inverter device detects a switching change of an inverter by a pulse and is equipped with a pulse signal detector capable of detecting a motor residual voltage or a phase and a detector for detecting a residual voltage or a phase. The inverter device includes a voltage detector, a circuit for detecting a pulse signal based on a comparison between a phase voltage detection value per one phase output from the voltage detector and a first reference voltage value, a circuit for detecting a line residual voltage based on phase voltage detection values of two phases output from the voltage detector, and a circuit for detecting a line phase based on a comparison between the line residual voltage and a second reference voltage value.
