  • Publication number: 20220360145
    Abstract: With an object, of providing a rotating electric machine such that a reduction in size can be achieved, and a balance between a cooling performance and vibration resistance can be achieved, a multiple of connection portions formed of a first connection portion and a second connection portion that mechanically connect a rotating electric machine main body and a power converter are provided on a non-external device connection portion side bracket in the rotating electric machine main body and a heat dissipating member in the power converter, cross-sectional centers of the first connection portion and the second connection portion are caused to be positioned farther to an inner diameter side than an outer diameter of a stator, and a power module is disposed between two connection portions neighboring in a circumferential direction.

  • Patent number: 10693392
    Abstract: A power conversion device includes a first switching unit connected between a DC power supply and an inverter circuit, a resonant circuit connected to the input of the inverter circuit and formed by connecting a capacitor, a reactor, and a second switching unit, and a control unit, wherein, during a resonant operation period in which the first switching unit is controlled to be off and the second switching unit is controlled to be on, the control unit controls the inverter circuit to shift from a mode in which current flows back through one of upper and lower arms of the inverter circuit to a mode in which current flows back through the other arm, and provides a period in which the upper and lower arms for every phase of the inverter circuit are turned on simultaneously.
    Type: Grant
