  • Publication number: 20240154563
    Abstract: A control circuit has a three-phase modulation operation mode under which a three-phase modulation signal is output to an inverter circuit as a pulse width modulation signal, a two-phase modulation operation mode under which a two-phase modulation signal is output to the inverter circuit as the pulse width modulation signal, and a transitional operation mode under which one of the three-phase modulation operation mode and the two-phase modulation operation mode is switched to the other. The control circuit transitions to the transitional operation mode in response to a reference signal set in advance, and switches an operation by outputting to the inverter circuit, a transition modulation signal with a mixture ratio between the three-phase modulation signal and the two-phase modulation signal being gradually changed in a predetermined electrical angle interval unit.
