Abstract
An inverter corrects an output voltage in accordance with the magnitude of output voltage error due to a dead time and an ON-state voltage drop in power elements so as to energize an AC motor in a manner of single phase alternating current excitation, by calculating an active component of current Iq and a reactive component of current Id from the phase .theta. of an excitation voltage vector and a detected instantaneous current value iu, and by measuring characteristic constants of the motor, including a combined resistance (r.sub.1 +r.sub.2) and a combined leakage inductance (l.sub.1 +l.sub.2), from an excitation voltage command value Vc.sub.1, Id and Iq. The measured values are used as the control constants for a speed sensorless vector control. Further, the resistances r.sub.1, r.sub.2, and a self-inductance L.sub.1, which are control constants, can be obtained based on the component in a primary voltage vector direction of a primary current vector Iq' and the component .pi./2 delayed from the primary voltage vector direction of the primary current vector Id'. In this way, the characteristic constants can be accurately measured without any inverter output voltage sensor.
