  • Patent number: 10809137
    Abstract: A method of estimating a temperature of a reactor provided in a boost converter disclosed herein, a temperature of a bus bar connected with the reactor and a current flowing in the bus bar are measured; when an absolute value of a DC component ILdc of the measured current exceeds a current threshold Ith, an estimated value of the temperature of the reactor is calculated by adding a first correction value, which depends on the DC component ILdc, to the measured temperature TL and is outputted as an estimated temperature TR; and when the absolute value of the DC component is lower than the current threshold Ith, the estimated value of the temperature of the reactor is calculated by adding a second correction value, which does not depend on the measured current, to the measured temperature and is outputted as the estimated temperature TR.

  • Patent number: 10393774
    Abstract: A bus bar module equipped with a current sensor includes a first bus bar, a second bus bar, a substrate, and a first magnetoelectric transducer. The first bus bar has a first notch. The second bus bar has a second notch and is placed in parallel to the first bus bar. The second notch is provided at a position different from the first notch in an extending direction of the first bus bar. The substrate is fitted to both the first notch and the second notch. Further, the substrate is sandwiched between those side surfaces of the first bus bar and the second bus bar which are opposed to each other. The first magnetoelectric transducer is placed inside the first notch and fixed to the substrate.

  • Patent number: 10184960
    Abstract: A current sensor is configured to measure current flowing in two bus bars aligned in an X direction and extending parallel in a Y direction. A sensing element is arranged such that its magnetism sensing direction is oriented in the X direction on a line passing through the bus bar in a Z direction. A pair of shield plates sandwiches the bus bar and the sensing element therebetween in the Z direction. The bus bar is located between the sensing element and the lower shield plate. The sensing element is located closer to the upper shield plate than to the lower shield plate. At least one of a thickness and a magnetic permeability of the magnetism shield plates is greater in the upper shield plate than in the lower shield plate.
