A control method of inverter for driving motor including a magnet, comprises detecting a rotation state of the motor by a rotation sensor, detecting current of the motor by a current sensor, calculating, based on a torque command value, a detection value of the rotation state detected by the rotation sensor, and detection current detected by the current sensor, a voltage command value for controlling a voltage of the motor by a controller for controlling the inverter, specifying a value of at least one of a local maximum value, a local minimum value, and an average value of the torque voltage command value included in the voltage command value as a torque determination target command value by the controller, comparing a demagnetizing determination threshold value with the torque determination target command value by the controller, and determining whether or not demagnetization of the magnet occurs in accordance with the compared result.

Inverter control method, and inverter control apparatus

A mounting structure for a power conversion device includes: a vehicle body component extending in a front-rear direction of a vehicle; a mounting component provided on the vehicle body component; a drive unit held by the vehicle body component via the mounting component; and a power conversion device attached to the mounting component. A stiffness of the mounting component is greater than a stiffness of the vehicle body component. The power conversion device is arranged between a front end and a rear end of the drive unit in a side view of the vehicle.

Mounting structure for power conversion device

A drive device of the present invention includes: an electric motor including a cooling channel; a power conversion unit that converts electric power from a power supply and outputs electric power to be supplied to the electric motor; and a supporting member fixed to the electric motor with the power conversion unit mounted on the supporting member. The supporting member includes a cooling channel connected to the cooling channel of the electric motor.
