An inverter has a connection group arranged to be fed with DC voltage and which includes two controlled main rectifiers in series with each other connected to the DC source and a connection point between which forms the output terminal for the output voltage of the inverter. These rectifiers are fired alternately. Two controlled commutating rectifiers in series are arranged to be supplied with DC voltage and are fired alternately in order to extinguish the main rectifiers. A commutating capacito...

A parallel-connected type, self-commutation and self-controlled inverter employing two controlled rectifier elements, in which the connection point of one electrode of one of the controlled rectifier elements with the primary winding of a transformer of the inverter is connected to the gate of the other controlled rectifier element through a pulse generator circuit.

A software-based inverter has a logic portion which is preferably made of LSIs. The inverter is therefore low-cost, yet provides a more efficient, precise and sophisticated operation for the inverter-motor combination. The inverter permits independent frequency and voltage application within the maximum and minimum voltage/frequency envelopes for a substantially optimal inverter-motor performance under a given load condition. The higher harmonics associated with the signal modulation are limited...

An inverter for use with a vehicular induction motor employs a modulation system in which the waveform of the carrier wave is adjusted so that the modulation wave is made into a constant DC signal.

An inverter comprises a pair of reactors connected in series between a positive arm element and a negative arm element, snubbers each connected in parallel to respective arm elements, and a feedback circuit for transferring electrical energy stored in the snubbers back to the d.c. power source. The feedback circuit includes a self turn-off switching device which is controlled to become conductive during a certain period in correspondence to the on-off operation of the arm elements so that energy...

A system for safeguarding the circuit and the step-up transformer can be devised without using the special high-cost components. Voltage supplied by the primary coil (21) of a step-up transformer (2) is switched by a transistor (TR) and the secondary coil (22) of the step-up transformer causes the generation of secondary voltage. To detect the voltage generated by the secondary coil of the step-up transformer, a voltage detection coil wrapped around the step-up transformer (2) is provided. Abnor...

In an inverter maintenance system, while an inverter of a user, a user support server of maker, and also, a portable telephone capable of accessing to a Web server are employed, such information required to maintain/manage the inverter is transferred/received by way of the portable telephone. Thus, various sorts of requests can be accepted by both the user support server and the Web server.

An inverter unit including a converter, a transformer, a feedback circuit and an open lamp lock circuit is provided. The converter receives a drive signal, and outputs a duty voltage signal accordingly. The transformer is selectively coupled with a lamp of a display panel module, and receives the duty voltage signal. When the transformer is coupled with the lamp, the transformer outputs an output voltage to the lamp according to the duty voltage signal to light up the lamp. The feedback circuit ...
