Abstract
A controller for switching an inverter includes a current detecting unit, an overcurrent level determining unit which determines an overcurrent level for stopping the inverter in accordance with a value corresponding to the number of revolutions of a motor, a current comparing unit which compares a detected output current value of the inverter with the overcurrent level, and a gate signal generating unit which generates a signal for turning off all semiconductor switching devices of the inverter when the current comparing unit makes a determination that the detected output current value has reached the overcurrent level. The overcurrent level is lowered as the number of revolutions of the motor increases.
