Abstract:
A motor driving apparatus makes a carrier signal of an inverter be synchronized with a carrier signal of a DC/DC converter, and determines a phase difference between both the carrier signals based on a ratio of an input voltage inputted to the DC/DC converter and an input voltage inputted to the inverter, and a percentage of modulation and a power factor which are operation parameters of the inverter. When the frequency of the carrier signal of the DC/DC converter is set to be twice as high as that of the carrier signal of the inverter, an optimal phase difference is determined based on the ratio of the input voltage of the DC/DC converter and the input voltage of the inverter.

Abstract:
An active filter reduces the common mode current in the ground wire of a PWM controlled motor drive circuit. The active filter is, in part, integrated into an integrated circuit chip and contains a buffer amplifier which drives two junction type or MOSFET transistors linearly to divert common mode current from a ground wire and through the transistors. The transistors are connected between positive and negative d-c busses which supply d-c power to a PWM inventor which drives an a-c motor, producing the common mode ground current in its grounded frame. A current transformer monitors the common mode current and its output is coupled to the input of the buffer amplifier to control the transistors. An internal power supply for the amplifiers is formed at the nodes between two current sources and two zener diodes which are connected between the d-c bus conductors. Headroom control circuits are disclosed to insure sufficient headroom voltage for each of the transistors under all input a-c voltage conditions.

An reactor is arranged between the AC power supply and the first inverter for reducing harmonic components contained in the current supplied from or back to the AC power supply.
