Abstract

Provided are an inverter device deterring PWM voltage error even if high inverter output frequencies are used for overmodulation driving and an electric vehicle equipped with the inverter device. In an angular section where the output voltage from an inverter device is linearly approximated with the zero cross point as the center thereof, a PWM generator in the inverter device changes either the time interval between the centers of PWM ON pulses or the time interval between the centers of PWM OFF pulses depending on the inverter operation state. An electric vehicle is equipped with the inverter device, which drives a motor.
