  • PWM pulse width modulation
  • the former method includes pulse width modulation that outputs only odd voltage vectors or only even voltage vectors. According to this method, it is possible to completely suppress fluctuations in common mode voltage within a carrier period. There is also pulse width modulation that switches between outputting only odd-numbered voltage vectors and outputting only even-numbered voltage vectors depending on the electrical angle phase. Also by this method, fluctuations in the common mode voltage can be largely suppressed (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
  • the latter method includes pulse width modulation that matches (shifts) the timing of the rise and fall of the phase voltage of a specific phase with the rise and fall of the phase voltage of other phases in a PWM pattern (for example, Patent Document (see 2). Furthermore, fluctuations in the common mode voltage can also be suppressed by pulse width modulation of two-phase modulation in which switching of one phase is fixed and switching of the other two phases is fixed (see, for example, Patent Document 3).
  • Patent Document 1 is the most effective method for suppressing common mode voltage fluctuations, it has limitations on the voltage vector that can be used.

Therefore, when driving a compressor motor, etc., noise is excited due to current distortion, making it difficult to apply, or when the rotation speed and modulation rate are high, the modulation method as in Patent Document 3 is difficult to apply. It is necessary to switch.
