Abstract
An electromagnetic rotating apparatus may include an electromagnet winding that consumes power generated during regeneration. A motor voltage monitoring circuit detects that a voltage at a motor driving main circuit is higher than a voltage during normal operation, due to overshoot or the like after arrival at a set speed during deceleration or acceleration of a motor. The motor voltage monitoring circuit transmits a high-voltage detection signal to a braking current adjusting circuit and a magnetic bearing control circuit. Upon receiving the high-voltage detection signal, the braking current adjusting circuit reduces a braking current command value for the motor so as to maintain an excitation voltage for the motor constant or reduce this excitation voltage, and an amplifier control circuit in the magnetic bearing control circuit increases a bias current flowing through an electromagnet winding to increase power consumption.
