Abstract
An improvement of control for prevention of a short circuit between controllable elements used as switching elements in a pulse-width modulation type inverter apparatus which outputs a variable amplitude or variable frequency a.c. voltage. The pulse-width modulation type inverter apparatus is of a type wherein, a selecting means selects an output from a processing means within a period during which the result of detection by a current detector falls within a region of substantially zero level and also selects only a signal corresponding to each switching element which effectively acts on the generation of the output current, out of signals generated by a PWM signal generating means during a period other than the above-described period, thereby to output the same as a drive signal for the switching element.
