APPARATUS FOR CONTROLLING A.C. MOTOR

摘要

A first PWM inverter for converting the ac voltage of an ac power source to a dc voltage is connected through a dc circuit with a second PWM inverter for driving an ac motor. A smoothing capacitor is provided in the dc circuit. The firing angles of the first inverter are so controlled that the voltage in the dc circuit may be kept at a predetermined value and the second inverter is controlled in accordance with the speed instruction signal for the ac motor, whereby the ac motor can operate a regenerative operation without inducing higher harmonic components.
