Abstract

An AC variable speed driving apparatus including an AC motor and an inverter for driving the motor. The AC motor includes a synchronous motor and an induction motor. The synchronous motor includes first stator windings and a first rotor having a permanent magnet. The induction motor includes second stator windings and a second rotor. The first and second stator windings are disposed so that they do not magnetically interfere with each other. The first and second rotors are mounted on a common axis of rotation. The inverter supplies AC power to the stator windings so that the synchronous motor and the induction motor are driven independently. A highly efficient, large output and low cost system can be realized in a wide speed range.
