    摘要: In a motor driving apparatus having an inverter which can drive n (n being an integer not smaller than 2) motors each having a permanent magnet in its rotor, and a connection switching device for switching the connection state of the n motors, the connection switching device is operated to change the number of the motors connected to the inverter thereby to change the impedance as seen from the inverter towards the motors. When i (i being any of 2 to n) motors among the n motors are concurrently driven by the inverter, the voltage outputted by the inverter may be controlled such that the inductance values of the i motors are identical. It is possible to prevent hunting and step-out due to the phase difference between the motors driven by the inverter.

    摘要: A motor control device includes: an inverter circuit configured to convert a direct-current voltage into an alternating-current voltage, and to supply the alternating-current voltage to a plurality of motors connected in parallel; current detectors configured to detect motor currents flowing through the respective motors; a relay provided between at least one of the plurality of motors and the inverter circuit; and a controller configured to change the number of motors to be driven. When one of two or more motors under driving is stopped, the controller lowers a current instruction value to the two or more motors under driving. When a monitor current that is the motor current detected by the current detector of the motor connected to the relay is decreased, the controller switches the relay from an on state to an off state.

    摘要: A heat pump apparatus includes: a compressor including a motor; an inverter that applies a desired voltage to the motor; a current detector that detects current flowing to the motor; a drive-signal generation unit that generates a drive signal for the inverter; a magnetic-pole position estimation unit that changes a voltage phase of a voltage command value for a high-frequency voltage, and estimates a maximum-heat-amount acquisition magnetic-pole position when the generation unit applies the high-frequency voltage to the motor to heat the compressor; a steady heating control unit that determines an amplitude and voltage phase of the voltage command value from the maximum-heat-amount acquisition magnetic-pole position and a defined necessary amount of heat when the generation unit applies the high-frequency voltage to the motor to heat the compressor; and a control switching determination unit that causes one of the estimation unit and the heating control unit to operate.

    摘要: A motor drive device that drives motors with one inverter includes a step-out control unit that detects step-out in which the operating frequency of at least one of the motors does not match the inverter output frequency, or the operating frequency of at least one of the motors does not match the operating frequency of another one of the motors, and stops the motors by switching an energization state of the inverter when at least one of the motors is out of step.

    摘要: Prior to starting of first and second synchronous motors, direct-current excitation is performed to pull in rotors of the synchronous motors to a designated position. In the direct-current excitation, a difference between a value of a direct current flowing through the first synchronous motor and a value of a direct current flowing through the second synchronous motor is reduced. For example, d-axis currents and q-axis currents corresponding to three-phase currents flowing through the motors are determined; a d-axis voltage command value for making one of the d-axis currents larger in absolute value equal to a d-axis current command value is determined, and a q-axis voltage command value for making one of the q-axis currents larger in absolute value equal to a q-axis current command value is determined; an inverter is driven using the determined d-axis voltage command value and q-axis voltage command value.

    摘要: There are provided at least two disconnection contactors each of which switches between connection and disconnection of each of at least two of three second power lines for supplying a three-phase alternating-current voltage generated by an inverter to a second PM motor, at least two short-circuit contactors each of which switches between connection and disconnection between the two second power lines of each of at least two of the pairs of the three second power lines, and a calculator to control the disconnection contactors and short-circuit contactors.
