Abstract: An electric turbo compressor is an air compressor to be used in a fuel cell system, and includes a housing comprised of a compression casing, a motor casing, and a canceller casing, and the housing houses therein an impeller, a rotary shaft, a thrust canceller (a load cancellation section), and a motor unit. The rotary shaft is supported by a thrust air bearing in its thrust direction, and is axially supported by a radial air bearing in its rotating direction. A thrust load is generated at the rotary shaft when the number of rotations of the impeller increases. The pressure of the compressed air acts to the pressure chamber from the compressed air lead-out section of the compression casing via the compressed air passage, and this pressure acts on the canceller flange of the canceller shaft so as to generate a load towards the rear of the rotary shaft. Therefore, the thrust load is cancelled out.

Abstract: To protect the bearings, lubricant and seals of a refrigerant compressor, the compressor includes one or more inductors for mitigating a high frequency common mode current that produces a high frequency shaft voltage. Each inductor is a ring of magnetic material encircling three insulated cables that convey three-phase power from an adjustable frequency drive to the compressor's motor. Without the inductors, the high frequency shaft voltage can become damagingly high due to the length of a cast iron housing that can be particularly long if the housing contains both a motor and several centrifugal impellers. The high frequency shaft voltage is just one component of a composite adverse shaft voltage. Another component, known as an operationally induced shaft voltage, can be reduced by a grounding contact, so instead of using just an inductor or just a contact, both can be used to provide a total solution to the problem.
