Abstract:
As a control of an inverter, a first pulse width modulation control switches a plurality of switching elements by generating a first pulse width modulation signal of the switching elements, and a second pulse width modulation control switches the switching elements by generating a second pulse width modulation signal of the switching elements based on a voltage modulation rate, a voltage phase, and the number of pulses per unit cycle of an electrical angle of the motor based on the torque command and has a smaller number of switchings of the switching elements than the first pulse width modulation control. The first pulse width modulation control and the second pulse width modulation control are executed in a switched manner. Execution of the second pulse width modulation control as the control of the inverter is restricted when the quietness is needed, compared with when the quietness is not needed.
