  • Patent number: 9231415
    Abstract: A stored electric power discharging circuit for an inverter device includes a group of series resistors configured to be connected in parallel to a plurality of main circuit capacitors in a normal operation, a voltage stabilization circuit configured to stabilize interterminal voltages of the respective main circuit capacitor according to a divided voltage of the series resistors during the normal operation, and a control switch having a control input and configured to cut the direct connection between the series resistors at a time of power-off, thereby breaking a voltage stability state of the main circuit capacitors by the voltage stabilization circuit.

  • Patent number: 9110479
    Abstract: A voltage balancing circuit includes (n?1)-number of voltage stabilization circuits configured between k-th reference nodes of n-number of groups of resistances and k-th output nodes of the n-number of groups of main circuit capacitors respectively where 2?k?n. The k-th voltage stabilization circuit is configured in such a manner that the first transistor is connected via a first resistance to a (k?a)-th output node serving as the source node and the second transistor is connected via a second resistance further connected to a (k+b)-th output node serving as the destination node, where 2?k?n, 1?a?k?1 and 1?b?n+1?k.

  • Patent number: 9069654
    Abstract: An inverter device includes an inverter main circuit to which a load is connected, an input unit configured to receive an input operation by a user, a connector into which a hot-pluggable external storage device is insertable, and a control unit configured to control writing of a log to the external storage device inserted into the connector. When the external storage device is inserted in the connector, the control unit switches the external storage device to a connected state in which the log is allowed to be written to the external storage device. When the input unit receives the input operation during the connected state of the external storage device, the control unit stops writing of the log to the external storage device and switches the external storage device to a disconnected state in which the external storage connector is removable from the connector.
