PURPOSE:To prevent an overvoltage exceeding a rated voltage from being applied on a motor, by providing an output voltage regulating circuit which controls an inverter output voltage when the output of a solar battery exceeds a load capacitance. CONSTITUTION:Normally, a device is controlled so as to set the ratio of the inverter output voltage V to an inverter output frequency (f) constant (V/F constant control) invariably to maximize the output voltage of the solar battery by an inverter control circuit 6. And when the output voltage VD.C. of the solar battery rises exceeding the power consumption of load, the fact is detected by the output voltage regulating circuit 7, and the inverter output voltage is lowered so as not to exceed the rated voltage of the motor 4 by adjusting the PWM modulation degree of an inverter 3. Since it is constituted so as to control the output voltage by detecting an inverter input voltage at the output voltage regulating circuit 7, it is possible to make an inverter output voltage detection circuit which monitors and detects the inverter output voltage unnecessary, and to simplify circuit constitution remarkably.

On the other hand, the operating characteristics of an induction motor with the motor-order voltage as a parameter when the frequency is constant are as shown in Figure 6.As can be seen from this figure, even if the -order voltage reaches 120% voltage, there is an upper limit. However, the motor speed changes only slightly and the load cannot be increased, so the motor is operated at an overvoltage that exceeds the rated voltage, which could lead to insulation damage.

<Function> With conventional control, only one V/F pattern is required, and since it is controlled by V/F - Ashikaga, control becomes uncontrollable when the PWM variation: A degree reaches the maximum trace point. As a result, overvoltage was applied to the motor. On the other hand, in the present invention, the solar cell voltage - Ashikaga control is not normally controlled by 11, but when the output of the solar cell exceeds the capacity of the load and the output voltage VD, C, exceeds the limit, this is output. It is detected by a voltage adjustment circuit, and the PWM modulation degree of the inverter is adjusted to lower the inverter output voltage so that it does not rise above the rated voltage of the motor. In this way, it is possible to prevent overvoltage from being applied to the motor.

<Effects of the Invention> As described above, according to the present invention, the V/F constant control to maximize the output power of the solar cell at all times also allows the output power of the solar cell to exceed the power consumption of the load. If the voltage exceeds the rated value of the motor, output voltage control can be performed in a similar manner to prevent the application of overvoltage to the motor by not outputting a voltage exceeding the rated value of the motor. Moreover, instead of controlling the output voltage by detecting the inverter output voltage when it exceeds the motor rated voltage, the output voltage adjustment circuit detects the solar cell output voltage when it exceeds the motor rated voltage, in other words, the inverter input voltage. Since the output voltage is controlled by the inverter output voltage, there is no need for an inverter output voltage detection circuit that monitors and detects the inverter output voltage, and the circuit configuration becomes extremely simple.
