Abstract

A vector control apparatus having a DC braking function which is insusceptible to trip even upon DC braking and scarcely suffers vibration upon stoppage is provided. The control apparatus includes a DC braking control arithmetic unit 1 and switches S1, S3 and S4 controlled thereby, wherein in a vector control mode, the DC braking control arithmetic unit 1 sets all the switches S1, S3 and S4 to position a for realizing the vector control. When a DC control state is to be validated from the above-mentioned state, phase of voltage vector is calculated to change over the switches S1 and S3 to position b, and the absolute value of the q-axis current is compared with a reference value .alpha.. When the absolute value of the q-axis current is smaller than the reference value .alpha., the switch S4 is changed over to the position b to thereby effectuate only the d-axis current control. According to the present invention, there is provided a vector control apparatus having a tripless DC braking function. Since vibration occurring upon stoppage can be suppressed, stopping position accuracy upon DC braking in emergency can be enhanced. Further, low-noise systems are made available.
