  • Patent number: 7999499
    Abstract: A rotating electrical machine control system includes a rotating electrical machine, a frequency conversion portion, a voltage conversion portion, a torque limitation portion, and an abnormality detection portion. The torque limitation portion limits generation of a positive torque in a region of less than a rotational speed lower limit threshold value where a rotational speed of the rotating electrical machine is less than zero, and sets a region in which the positive torque is generated to a region of the rotational speed lower limit threshold value or greater, and the torque limitation portion limits generation of a negative torque in a region of greater than a rotational speed upper limit threshold value where the rotational speed of the rotating electrical machine is greater than zero, and sets a region in which the negative torque is generated to a region of the rotational speed upper limit threshold value or less.

  • Patent number: 7952309
    Abstract: A rotating electrical machine control device includes an inverter; a resolver; a unit; a three-phase/two-phase modulation switching unit; and a motor control unit that switches to a two-phase modulation in a specific region where an electric noise given to the resolver by a rotating electrical machine is large, even in a region where the modulation ratio is smaller than the three-phase/two-phase modulation switching boundary.

  • Patent number: 7928686
    Abstract: An electric motor control device includes a direct current power source; an inverter interposed between an electric motor and the direct current power source, the inverter device controlling an exchange of electric power therebetween; an inverter control unit that generates PWM pulses having a duty ratio corresponding to voltage command signals and sends the PWM pulses to the inverter in order to switch the inverter; a frequency changing unit that changes a carrier frequency of the PWM pulses generated by the inverter control unit in a manner corresponding to a frequency control signal; and a motor control unit.
