Patent ID: 6911801

Claim:
An inverter control method for a three-phase motor comprising three first switches connected between each of phase terminals of the three-phase motor and a positive terminal of a DC power of the three-phase motor, and three second switches connected between each of the phases and a negative terminal of the DC power of the three-phase motor, comprising: disposing three maximum phase voltage vectors each having an equivalent angle interval corresponding to maximum values of each phase voltage; setting maximum phase voltage vector regions by predetermined angles with respect to each of the maximum phase voltage vectors; setting minimum phase voltage vectors corresponding to the maximum phase voltage vectors in between the maximum phase voltage vector regions; obtaining a desirable voltage by turning on a first switch and turning off a second switch, both connected to the phase terminal of a corresponding maximum phase voltage in each maximum phase voltage vector region; and changing a duty ratio of control signals with respect to the other switches corresponding to the other two phase voltages.
