Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An inverter device includes: an inverter circuit configured to perform ON/OFF operations with a preset duty cycle to convert a DC power into an AC power and output the AC power to an AC motor; and a controller configured to change a duty cycle of the ON/OFF operations.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. An inverter device comprising: an inverter circuit configured to perform ON/OFF operations with a preset duty cycle to convert a DC power into an AC power and output the AC power to an AC motor; a load detecting unit configured to detect a load that has been applied to the motor; and a controller configured to change a duty cycle of the ON/OFF operations, wherein the controller increases the duty cycle when the load detected by the load detecting u…
