A power control apparatus includes an inverter giving a rectangular waveform drive signal to an induction motor, an inverter voltage controlling section controlling an output voltage of the inverter, a converter boosting a voltage supplied to the inverter, a converter voltage controlling section controlling an output voltage of the converter, and a control signal generating section that controls the inverter voltage controlling section in a low-rotational speed region and controls the converter voltage controlling section in a high-rotational speed region.

Power control apparatus for a turbo charger equipped with an assist motor and a motor driven turbo charging apparatus

A three-wave rectifying unit of an AC generator has a plus-side cooling fin, a minus-side cooling fin and a DC-output terminal. The DC-output terminal is made of a metal plate which is harder than the plus-side cooling fin to provide tight mechanical connection. The DC-output terminal, the plus-side cooling fin, a plus-side brush terminal and a plus-side terminal of a voltage regulator are fastened together and electrically connected by a screw which is screwed into a portion of the DC-output terminal.

Fastening means for contacting DC-output terminal with cooling fin in AC

A stack of two different metals to be welded, one of which is harder than the other, and an additional soft metal placed on the harder metal is placed between a pair of horn tips (grip members) of an ultrasonic welder. The harder metal is covered with a soft metal layer of a high plastic fluidity. Serrations are formed on the surface of the horn tips to grip the softer metal and the additional metal tightly during ultrasonic vibration is applied.
