Abstract:
In the case where a chip is made of wide band gap semiconductor, a power conversion apparatus is obtained in which a component having a low heat resistant temperature is prevented from receiving thermal damage by heat generated at the chip. In a configuration including: a chip portion (20) including a chip (21) made of wide band gap semiconductor and a member (22, 23) having a heat resistant temperature equal to or higher than that of the chip (21); and a peripheral component (25) arranged in the vicinity of the chip portion (20) and having a heat resistant temperature lower than that of the chip (21). The chip (21) and the peripheral component (25) are thermally insulated from each other so that the temperature of the peripheral component (25) does not exceed the heat resistant temperature of the peripheral component (25).
Abstract:
In a direct power converter employing a boost chopper, a peak current flowing an inductor of the boost chopper is reduced. When a rectifying duty dr, a discharge duty dc, a voltage between both ends Vc of a capacitor (34), and a rectified voltage Vrec of an AC voltage Vin are introduced, a virtual DC link voltage Vdc in an inverter (6) is expressed by dc€¢Vc+dr€¢Vrec. The discharge duty dc is a time ratio of continuity of a switch (41). The rectifying duty dr has a value obtained by subtracting the discharge duty dc and a zero voltage duty dz from 1. The zero voltage duty dz is a time ratio for the inverter (6) to adopt a zero voltage vector regardless of a magnitude of a voltage to be output from the inverter (6). The capacitor (34) is charged in the boost chopper (3) at a part of a period during which the virtual DC link voltage Vdc is larger than the rectified voltage Vrec.
Abstract:
A voltage detection section (11a) and current detection section (11b) detect a voltage and current supplied to a motor, and the detected voltage and current are supplied to a position detection section (12). An angular speed output from the position detection section (12) is supplied to a differentiator (13) to output an angular acceleration. A fundamental wave component extraction section (14) extracts a fundamental wave component of the angular acceleration, and the extracted fundamental wave component is supplied to an amplitude adjustment section (15). The output of the amplitude adjustment section (15) is subtracted from the average current command by a subtraction section (16). This subtraction result, current detection value, and the rotor position from the position detection section (12) are supplied to a current control section (17) to carry out the current control operation so as to obtain a current command. The current command is supplied to an inverter (4) to control the voltage and current so as to suppress the speed changing due to the load torque changing. Thus, stability is improved, and decreasing in cost is realized.
Abstract:
In a direct power converter including a boost chopper, an average value or an effective value of a current flowing in an inductor of the boost chopper is reduced. When a rectifying duty (dr), a discharge duty (dc), a voltage between both ends (Vc) of a capacitor (34), and a rectified voltage (Vrec) of an AC voltage (Vin) are introduced, a virtual DC link voltage (Vdc) in an inverter (6) is expressed by dc·Vc + dr·Vrec. The discharge duty (dc) is a time ratio at which a switch (41) is conductive. The rectifying duty (dr) has a value obtained by subtracting the discharge duty (dc) and a zero voltage duty (dz) from 1. The zero voltage duty (dz) is a time ratio at which the inverter (6) adopts a zero voltage vector irrespective of the magnitude of a voltage output from the inverter (6). In a boost chopper (3), the capacitor (34) is charged during a part of a period during which the virtual DC link voltage (Vdc) is greater than the rectified voltage (Vrec).

A power module (61) is attached to a refrigerant cooler (81) in contact with the refrigerant cooler (81), and cooling is performed by dissipating heat to the refrigerant flowing in the refrigerant cooler (81). A controller (60) outputs a driving signal to a drive circuit (31) to reduce the number of switching operations of switching elements (37).
