    摘要: A motor drive device capable of switching the connection configuration of the stator windings of a motor includes three relays each including a first contact, a second contact, and a contact plate, where the contact plate has one terminal coupled to a stator winding of one phase among the stator windings and the contact plate has another terminal to be connected to the first contact or to the second contact; and a control unit to control the three relays to cause all the three relays to have a same connection state in a case in which not all the three relays have a same connection state with respect to connections between the another terminal of the contact plate and the first contact and the second contact.

    摘要: An electric motor drive device includes: a wire connection switching unit; an inverter; a control device controlling the wire connection switching unit and the inverter; and an overcurrent protection circuit preventing current exceeding a predetermined value from continuously flowing through the electric motor. The overcurrent protection circuit includes: determination circuits each correlated one-to-one with any one of possible wire connection states of a stator winding and determining whether current flowing through the inverter is abnormal; a combining circuit combining determination results; and an invalidation circuit invalidating a determination process by one or more of the determination circuits, and causing the combining circuit to output a determination result by the determination circuit correlated with a selected wire connection state of the stator winding. When the determination result output from the combining circuit indicates an abnormal value of the current flowing through the inverter, the control device stops the inverter.

    摘要: An electric quantity of a power supply of a connection switching device for switching the connection state of a motor, or at least one electric quantity which varies with the first-mentioned electric quantity is detected, the result of the detection is used to detect or predict a fall of a voltage of the switching power supply. Based on the result of the detection or prediction, an inverter is so controlled as to stop the motor before the voltage of the switching power supply falls below the minimum voltage required for the operation of the connection switching device. Breakdown of the connection switching device can be prevented.

    摘要: An electric motor drive unit includes a winding switching unit that switches a configuration of windings of an electric motor, a winding switching instruction unit that generates an instruction signal for the winding switching unit, and a winding configuration retention unit to which the instruction signal generated by the winding switching instruction unit is input, and if the input instruction signal has a first value, outputs a signal corresponding to the input instruction signal to the winding switching unit, and if the input instruction signal has a second value different from the first value, continues outputting a signal that has been output to the winding switching unit before the reception of the second value, the first value indicating an instruction on the configuration of the windings.
