Abstract:
A drive circuit is provided and includes a rectification circuit, a buck converter, a first inverter, and a second inverter. The rectification circuit is configured to rectify a first AC voltage signal to generate a rectified voltage signal. The buck converter is configured to downconvert the rectified voltage signal to a DC voltage signal, wherein the DC voltage signal is supplied to a DC bus. The first inverter is configured to convert the DC voltage signal to a second AC voltage signal and supply the second AC voltage signal to a compressor motor. The second inverter is configured to convert the DC voltage signal to a third AC voltage signal and supply the third AC voltage signal to a condenser fan motor. Peak voltages of the second AC voltage signal and the third AC voltage signal are less than peak voltages of the first AC voltage signal.
