Abstract

An inverter controller for driving a motor includes a rectifier having a reactor, an inverter, a capacitor, a generator which generates a voltage command value for each phase of the motor, a detector which detects a DC voltage between the DC buses of the inverter, a first corrector which calculates a voltage correction coefficient by comparing the DC voltage with a predetermined DC reference voltage, a second corrector which corrects the voltage command value by multiplying the voltage command value and the voltage correction coefficient, a selector which selects either two-phase modulation or three-phase modulation as a modulation type, a computer that computes a carrier frequency, and a pulse width modulation controller which controls a pulse width modulation so that a value of a voltage to be applied to the motor equals to the corrected voltage command value, by using the selected modulation type and the selected carrier frequency.
