Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A motor control device includes a PWM signal generating unit comparing PWM command voltage and carrier wave with each other to generate pulse signal so that duty is increased or decreased in both directions of phase lag and phase lead with one phase within carrier period as reference regarding one phase of three-phase PWM signal. The unit generates pulse signal so that duty is increased or decreased in one of the directions with one phase as reference regarding another phase. The unit generates pulse signal so that duty is increased or decreased in direction reverse to the one direction with one phase as reference regarding the other phase. The unit generates three-phase PWM signal pattern so that a current detecting unit is capable of detecting two-phase current in synchronization with advent of two predetermined time-points within carrier wave period of PWM signal with first to third phases being normally fixed.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A motor control device comprising: an inverter circuit including a plurality of switching elements connected into a three-phase bridge configuration, the inverter circuit being configured to convert a direct current into a three-phase alternate current to drive an electric motor; a current detecting element connected to a direct current side of the inverter circuit, thereby generating a signal corresponding to a current value; a PWM signal generating un…
