Abstract
There is provided a PWM inverter capable of preventing a phase error from occurring in generating a PWM signal even in the case where a carrier wave frequency is not sufficiently higher than a signal wave frequency. A PWM signal generating section (2) includes a phase adjusting section (11) configured to advance a phase of the signal wave by adding, to a signal wave, a delay component of the PWM signal with respect to the signal wave, the phase delay component being involved by digital control. Furthermore, in a case where the carrier wave frequency is changed, the phase delay component with respect to the signal wave is updated in synchronism with the timing of change of the carrier wave frequency.
