- Abnormal states of the gate drive circuit include UVLO (low voltage malfunction prevention), OVLO (over voltage malfunction prevention), overcurrent detection, overtemperature detection, and the like.
- the gate drive power supply circuit Since the gate drive power supply circuit is generated from a high voltage power supply, the voltage of the high voltage power supply is the trigger for diagnosis. Conventionally, after confirming that the monitor value of the constantly monitored high power supply voltage is maintained at 30 V or more for 40 ms or more, the fault management circuit is reset with the expectation that the UVLO of the gate drive circuit will be released. If the gate drive circuit is started normally, the abnormality occurrence information of the fault management circuit is cleared, and the operation of the inverter can be started. Numerical values such as 30 V and 40 ms are examples. For the wait time, the maximum time was set in consideration of the high voltage power supply, temperature, and component variations.
- the backup power supply output voltage and the gate drive power supply voltage are generated from one transformer, so there is a correlation between the respective voltages. Therefore, if the backup power supply output voltage is monitored in the motor control circuit 110, the rise of the gate drive power supply voltage can be estimated based on the backup power supply output voltage, so there is no need to set the wait time. That is, it is possible to shift to the gate drive operation quickly according to the operating conditions such as the rising speed of the high voltage and the temperature.
