    Abstract: A device for driving a plurality of motors and an electric apparatus having the same is disclosed. The device includes an inverter connected to a DC terminal, a multi-phase motor connected to the inverter, a single-phase motor serially connected to the multi-phase motor, and a first capacitor and a second capacitor connected in series between a first end and a second end of the DC terminal, wherein the single-phase motor is connected to the multi-phase motor, and a node between the first capacitor and the second capacitor. Accordingly, a plurality of motors serially connected with each other can be driven by using a single inverter.

    Abstract: A motor driving device controls a three-phase motor and a single-phase motor to operate in parallel. The motor driving device includes a dc terminal in which an upper and a lower DC-link capacitor are located. The motor driving device also includes a neutral terminal disposed between the upper and lower DC-link capacitors. The motor driving device includes an inverter that includes three pairs of upper switching elements and lower switching elements. Two pairs of upper switching elements and lower switching elements among three pairs are connected to an a-phase terminal and a b-phase terminal of the three-phase motor, respectively. The other pair of upper switching elements and lower switching elements among three pairs is connected to a first terminal of the single-phase motor. The neutral terminal is connected to a second terminal of the single-phase motor. A c-phase terminal of the three-phase motor is connected to the single-phase motor.

    Abstract: A device for driving a plurality of motors and an electric apparatus includes a first and a second capacitor, an inverter connected to a DC terminal, a multi-phase motor connected to the inverter, a single-phase motor serially connected with the multi-phase motor, and a controller configured to control the inverter. For starting the single phase motor during operation of the multi-phase motor, the controller is configured to perform, during an alignment period, an alignment of a rotor of the single-phase motor and perform, during a voltage compensation period, a voltage compensation for compensating a voltage change of a DC terminal neutral point between the first capacitor and the second capacitor based on the alignment of the rotor of the single-phase motor.
