    Abstract: An electric motor system includes a battery, an inverter, an electric motor, a zero-phase switching arm and a control unit. The inverter converts DC power output from the battery into three-phase AC power and outputs the three-phase AC power to the electric motor. A rotor of the electric motor rotates by the three-phase AC power output from the inverter. A neural point of the electric motor is connected to the zero-phase switching arm. A zero-phase current flowing through respective windings of the electric motor is adjusted by switching of the zero-phase switching arm. By this means, in the electric motor system, torque is generated at the rotor also using the zero-phase current as well as a three-phase AC current flowing through the respective windings.

    Abstract: In a driving device for a rotating electric machine, a first inverter unit blocks and allows, for each winding of multi-phase windings of the rotating electric machine, current conduction on one side of the winding and a second inverter unit blocks and allows current conduction on the other side of the winding. A plurality of second switching elements forming the second inverter unit each have a lower ON resistance than a plurality of first switching elements forming the first inverter unit. A controller is configured to switch on and off the respective first switching elements at a switching frequency higher than an electric fundamental frequency and switch on and off the respective second switching elements at a switching frequency lower than the switching frequency at which to switch on and off the first switching elements.

    Abstract: A rotary electrical machine includes a switch for supplying power to a field winding and controller. A ratio of an on-time to one switching cycle of the switch is defined as a duty ratio, and a duty ratio which is larger than the duty ratio corresponding to the field current that gives the maximum reduction amount of the inductance of the field winding with respect to an increasing amount of the field current in a range that the current can take and has a value less than 100% is set as a predetermined value. The controller calculates the duty ratio wherein an upper limit of the ratio is the predetermined value and turns on/off the switch based on the calculated duty ratio. Also, a relay and abnormality detection part that detects abnormality in the switch. The relay is switched to off in response to the occurrence of abnormality being detected.

    Abstract: A rotary electric machine is equipped with a stator and a rotor. The rotor has a d-axis magnetic circuit that is produced by a magnetomotive force of a field winding, and magnet magnetic circuits that are produced by a magnetic force of permanent magnets. The d-axis magnetic circuit and a q-axis magnetic circuit have at least a part thereof that is common to both. The permeance of the d-axis magnetic circuit is smaller than the permeance of the q-axis magnetic circuit, when a load is being applied to the rotor. A control apparatus of the rotary electric machine has a switching circuit that controls the field current in the field winding, and a control section that makes the switching frequency of the switching circuit become higher when the field current is above a threshold value than when the field current is less than or equal to the threshold value.

    Abstract: A rotating electric machine system includes a rotating electric machine and an electric power conversion circuit. The rotating electric machine includes N coils connected with each other to define a neutral point therebetween. The electric power conversion circuit includes N high-side switches, N low-side switches, a selector switch, a full-wave driver, a half-wave driver and a drive controller. The full-wave driver performs a full-wave drive process with high potential-side terminals of the low-side switches respectively connected with low potential-side terminals of the high-side switches by the selector switch. The half-wave driver performs a half-wave drive process with the high potential-side terminals of the low-side switches connected with the neutral point by the selector switch. The drive controller controls both the full-wave driver and the half-wave driver to selectively cause either the full-wave driver to perform the full-wave drive process or the half-wave driver to perform the half-wave drive process.

    Abstract: A rotating electric machine is equipped with a consequent-pole type rotor that includes a magnetic pole having a permanent magnet buried therein and a soft magnetic material pole that interposes two magnetic poles. The thickness of the permanent magnet and a circumferential width of the soft magnetic material pole have a relationship that prevents a spread of magnetic flux distribution in the circumferential direction within a gap between the soft magnetic material pole and a stator. As a result, a magnetic flux density difference in the circumferential direction is prevented, which enables a reduction of cogging torque based on an effective reduction of low-frequency space order components that originate from components other than a main component.
