<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a motor controller, wherein the switching elements of a power converting portion, such as a three-phase inverter, can be utilized up to the thermal limit, thereby expanding the operating range of a motor. <P>SOLUTION: A preset limit temperature Ts is compared with a computed junction temperature Tj. If Tj > Ts, processing is carried out for reducing the junction temperature Tj so that Tj ≤ Ts. Therefore, the switching elements Us to Zs can be efficiently utilized up to the application limit temperature Max, to expand the operating range of the motor 1, regardless of the detected temperature Td. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO&NCIPI |
