Abstract

A motor driving device controls driving of an inverter device, detects current values in two phases, and compensates a value. The motor driving device detects current values in two phases, namely, a maximum phase current value and a minimum phase current value, within a single cycle of a PWM carrier frequency. The motor driving device compensates a value obtained by subtracting an absolute value of a difference between two absolute values, namely, the detected maximum phase current value and minimum phase current value, from the smaller value of the absolute values, as the offset current component.

Claims (20)

1. An motor driving device configured to control driving of an inverter device that converts direct-current power supplied from a power source and outputs three-phase alternate-current power to a motor, wherein the motor driving device is configured to:

detect a direct bus current flowing between the power source and the inverter device;

calculate an offset current component to be superimposed on a detected value using the detected value where current values in two phases of a three-phase alternating current, which are calculated in accordance with the detected value of the direct bus current, substantially coincide with each other;

control driving of the inverter device in accordance with a current value for which the offset current component is compensated;

detect current values in two phases, namely, a maximum phase current value and a minimum phase current value, within a single cycle of a PWM carrier frequency; and

compensate a value obtained by subtracting an absolute value of a difference between two absolute values, namely, the detected maximum phase current value and minimum phase current value, from the smaller value of the absolute values, as the offset current component.

2. The motor driving device according to claim 1 , wherein

the detected value used to calculate the offset current component is detected for approximately every 60 degrees or a multiple number of approximately 60 degrees of an electric angle of the motor.

3. The motor driving device according to claim 2 , wherein

the offset current component is calculated when a phase difference between the three-phase current and the three-phase voltage is approximately zero.

4. The motor driving device according to claim 1 , wherein

the detected value used to calculate the offset current component is detected when command values in any two phases of the three-phase alternating current voltage values substantially coincide with each other.

5. The motor driving device according to claim 4 , wherein

the offset current component is calculated when a phase difference between the three-phase current and the three-phase voltage is approximately zero.

6. The motor driving device according to claim 1 , wherein

the detected value used to calculate the offset current component is detected when PWM pulse widths in any two phases of the three-phase PWM pulse widths substantially coincide with each other.

7. The motor driving device according to claim 1 , wherein

the offset current component is calculated in accordance with an electric angle of the motor.

8. The motor driving device according to claim 7 , wherein

the offset current component is calculated using a first phase difference and a second phase difference, first phase difference being a difference between the electric angle at which a peak value of the minimum phase current of the three-phase alternating current is obtained and the electric angle corresponding to a rotational position of the motor, and the second phase difference being a difference between the electric angle at which a peak value of the maximum phase current of the three-phase alternating current is obtained and the electric current corresponding to the rotational position of the motor.
