If magnitude relations between the output terminal voltage based on a DC negative terminal of the inverter and a threshold voltage that is a fixed value are compared, polarity thereof is changed at a predetermined rotor phase. The magnitude relation, for example, can be detected by an inexpensive and simple apparatus such as a level shift circuit and a NOT circuit. The rotor phase of the permanent magnet synchronous motor is inferred on the basis of changes in the magnitude relation and if it is differentiated, a rotation speed can be inferred. If the inferred values of the rotor phase and rotation speed are fed back to synchronous operation or vector control, the free-running permanent magnet synchronous motor can be restarted. |
