  • Publication number: 20140204499
    Abstract: An electrostatic protection component includes: a body in which a plurality of ceramic substrates is laminated; and a pair of discharge electrodes which are formed within the body and which are spaced to face each other. The discharge electrodes include main body portions extending along a longitudinal direction, and the main body portions include tips in the longitudinal direction and side edges extending along the longitudinal direction. The pair of discharge electrodes are arranged such that both the main body portions are adjacent to each other in a short direction. The discharge electrodes face each other in the short direction between the side edges, and discharge occurs only between the side edges, between the discharge electrodes.
    Type: Application

  • Patent number: 8102141
    Abstract: An inverter device driving an induction motor including main and auxiliary windings both having different winding specifications includes a three-arm inverter circuit having phase output terminals connected to the main winding, the auxiliary winding and a neutral winding of the induction motor respectively and converting a DC power supply to two-phase substantially sinusoidal PWM voltage, a current detector detecting currents of the respective main and auxiliary windings from a DC power supply current, a vector control computing unit obtaining balanced inductance values and resistance values from inductance values and resistance values of the respective main and auxiliary windings, determining a two-phase voltage to be supplied to the induction motor by vector control computing based on the balanced inductance values and resistance values, and a PWM signal forming unit forming a PWM signal controlling the inverter circuit according to the two-phase voltage.
