Abstract

An inverter control device that controls an inverter unit that converts a DC voltage from a converter unit to an AC voltage and supplies the AC voltage to the DC motor includes a storage unit that stores therein information regarding a synchronization-loss limit; a synchronization-loss limit-current calculation unit that calculates the limitation value on the synchronization-loss limit current on the basis of the magnet temperature of the DC motor, the bus voltage to be applied to the inverter unit, and the information regarding a synchronization-loss limit; and a control unit that compares the primary current to be input to the converter unit with the limitation value and that, when the primary current exceeds the limitation value, outputs an adjustment command to adjust the operating frequency of the DC motor such that the primary current becomes equal to or less than the limitation value.
