Abstract

The two-phase modulation control inverter unit includes a plurality of switching devices, a shunt resistor and a controller. The switching devices drive a three-phase motor. The shunt resistor is connected between a direct-current power supply and the switching devices. The controller reads a voltage applied to the shunt resistor in a read cycle, computes command voltages based on the read voltage, and uses the command voltages and carrier signals to compute three control signals. The read cycle corresponds to two or more signal cycles of each carrier signal. Each control signal has a pulse for each signal cycle of the corresponding carrier signal. The controller integrates a plurality of pulses of each control signal in the read cycle into one or more pulses. The controller reads a voltage applied to the shunt resistor at the time of outputting of the integrated one or more pulses in the next read cycle.
