Abstract

In a PWM-controlled, variable voltage/variable frequency inverter, a pulse mode, which is identified by a number of voltage pulses within one cycle of an output AC voltage of the inverter, is changed in accordance with a frequency of the output AC voltage and an output AC voltage factor, which is a ratio of an output AC voltage to be produced by the inverter at that time to a maximum value of the output AC voltage which can be produced under a then-present value of a voltage of a DC voltage source for the inverter.
