Abstract

The present invention relates to a power factor compensation device for a motor driving inverter which can improve a power factor of a voltage and a current inputted to the inverter driving a motor. The present invention detects a zero crossing point of an utility alternating current power, and outputs a driving signal corresponding to a plurality of sine wave form voltage values stored in a memory according to a detection result, when the zero crossing point of the utility alternating current power is detected in a state where the plurality of sine wave form voltage values corresponding to a voltage of the utility alternating current power and frequencies are stored in the memory. A switching transistor is switched according to the driving signal, and the voltage applied to the inverter is switched according to the switching operation, thereby improving the power factor.
