An electric compressor includes a compression portion, an electric motor, a drive circuit that has a circuit board on which electronic components are mounted, a housing, and a resin member. At least one of the electronic components is held by the resin member with the resin member sandwiched between the at least one of the electronic component and the circuit board. The electronic compressor includes a first metal member that is in contact with the at least one of the electronic components, and thermally connected to the housing, a second metal member that is disposed in the resin member, and a bolt by which the first metal member and the second metal member are fastened with each other.

A controller for an on-vehicle inverter includes an arm circuit and a driver. The driver includes a high-side drive circuit, a low-side drive circuit, and a bootstrap capacitor. The on-vehicle inverter includes a smoothing capacitor. The smoothing capacitor is supplied with leak current by an internal power supply via the bootstrap capacitor and a high-side semiconductor device. The controller further includes a voltage detector and an insertion-removal determination unit. The insertion-removal determination unit is configured to determine whether a connector has been inserted or removed from a change in voltage at ends of a smoothing capacitor detected by a voltage detector.

Controller for on-vehicle inverter

A motor controller for a motor-driven compressor includes a compressing body for compressing and discharging a refrigerant and a motor including a rotary shaft, the motor for driving the compressing body through the rotary shaft. A coil of the motor is arranged in a refrigerant containing area in the motor-driven compressor. The motor controller includes a determining section for determining whether liquid refrigerant is present in the refrigerant containing area and a modulation control section for driving the motor in accordance with three phase modulation control or two phase modulation control based on a determination result of the determining section.

Motor-driven compressor and controller therefor

The control device records, in advance, a current data table which specifies relationships between currents in respective phases in a three-phase motor and rotation angles of a rotor of the three-phase motor, obtains, from the current data table, a rotation angle of the rotor of the three-phase motor corresponding to a current in each phase in the three-phase motor detected by a current sensor before driving of the three-phase motor, and obtains an initial position of the rotor.
