摘要:
The object of the invention is to provide an inverter system and vehicles using this inverter wherein accurate detection of the abnormal heat generation from the inverter is ensured, despite a large amount of noise signals, a substantial fluctuation in environmental temperature, or a change of cooling performances resulting from the environmental conditions. Based on the output value of an outside air temperature detecting means 150 and temperature calculation parameters inputted from outside the inverter system, the temperature calculation circuit 144B of an error detecting section 144 calculates the temperature Tcal where a temperature detecting means below semiconductor device 152 is installed. A calculation approximate line calculation circuit 144C works out the approximate curve of the difference between the theoretical temperature value and the real temperature value Treal detected by a temperature detecting means below semiconductor device 152, and captures the trend of the temperature difference, using a periodic sampling method, whereby a error determining circuit 144E determines an error, based on the difference from the initial trend obtained in advance or change of the trend.

An inverter system having a semiconductor device, and a railway vehicle using this inverter, provide a more accurate determination of whether an abnormal heat generation from the inverter is associated with an error of the inverter system or is due to other causes, by use of a plurality of temperature detecting elements at a plurality of sites associated with the semiconductor device. An error detection section applies inputs from the temperature detecting elements, captures a trend of the differential value based on the plurality of temperature inputs using period sampling wherein an error associated with the semiconductor device, and not from some other condition such as outside environment temperature, is determined based on differences from, or a change in, the initial trend.

In such a product that torque of a motor is continuously generated when a rotation number of the motor is nearly equal to zero, since an output voltage is kept at a constant value in accordance with a rotation position of the motor, such a condition that currents are concentrated in a specific element are maintained. As a result, a temperature of the specific element is increased, so that there are problems that a temperature fail of an inverter apparatus may readily occur, and thus, lifetimes of elements are lowered. In a power converter of a motor drive apparatus, windings are energizing-controlled in such a manner that only 1 phase of a switching circuit is pulse-width-controlled when the motor is under motor locking condition.

A position detecting device which can increase accuracy in detecting the pole position of a motor used to perform quick acceleration and deceleration over the range from a zero speed to a high rotation speed, and a synchronous motor driving device using the position detecting device. A position detector detects basic-wave component signals in sensor signals and executes position calculation. A correcting unit calculates signal information representing at least one of a gain, an offset and a phase by a phase detector from the basic-wave component signals detected by an error calculator, and makes correction based on the calculated signal information such that a position detection error is zero.
