摘要:
If magnitude relations between the output terminal voltage based on a DC negative terminal of the inverter and a threshold voltage that is a fixed value are compared, polarity thereof is changed at a predetermined rotor phase. The magnitude relation, for example, can be detected by an inexpensive and simple apparatus such as a level shift circuit and a NOT circuit. The rotor phase of the permanent magnet synchronous motor is inferred on the basis of changes in the magnitude relation and if it is differentiated, a rotation speed can be inferred. If the inferred values of the rotor phase and rotation speed are fed back to synchronous operation or vector control, the free-running permanent magnet synchronous motor can be restarted.

At least any one of main terminals (positive electrode terminal, negative electrode terminal, alternating current terminal) is so configured that the main terminal includes two parts extended in a common direction.

The two parts are so structured that the parts are extended in a common direction. Control terminals (gate signal terminal and emitter signal terminal) are so arranged that a laminated portion of the control terminals is sandwiched between one and the other of the two parts to configure the semiconductor power module.
