    Abstract: In some aspects, an actuation system includes an electrical positioning driver and an electrically-driven actuator. A voltage boost converter in the electrical positioning driver receives an input voltage. The voltage boost converter passes the input voltage to a voltage bus in the electrical positioning driver. The voltage on the voltage bus is converted to an actuator power signal that controls the electrically-driven actuator. The voltage boost converter boosts the voltage on the voltage bus to control a mechanical output performance of the electrically-driven actuator.

    Abstract: A circuit disconnection element that can open or short-circuit between a power storage element and a step-up/step-down bidirectional chopper circuit is provided in a power storage system, thereby preventing a self-discharge state in a process of charging. Furthermore, at the time of occurrence of an abnormality, the power storage element is detached from other devices including the step-up/step-down bidirectional chopper circuit. Accordingly, an energy loss of the power storage element at the time of power regeneration can be reduced to improve the energy use efficiency. Further, breakage influences such that the power storage element causes breakage in other devices at the time of occurrence of the abnormality can be prevented, thereby enabling to obtain an AC motor drive device having mounted therein a highly safe power storage system.

    Abstract: A rotor position estimating device includes a voltage application unit, a current detecting unit and an estimating unit. The voltage application unit is configured to apply a d-axis voltage to an electric motor including a salient-pole rotor during a stop of the electric motor. The current detecting unit is configured to detect a q-axis current flowing through the electric motor at the time when the d-axis voltage is applied. The estimating unit is configured to estimate a rotor position during a stop of the electric motor on the basis of the q-axis current detected by the current detecting unit. The voltage application unit is configured to set a voltage application time in correspondence with peak timing at which the q-axis current reaches a peak in a transitional response characteristic of the q-axis current at the time when the d-axis voltage is applied.

    Abstract: Each of a first and a second inverter circuit supplies a driving current to an electric motor in a different power supply line. A custom IC has a first pre-driver circuit for outputting control signals to the first inverter circuit and a second pre-driver circuit for outputting control signals to the second inverter circuit. A micro-computer for outputting operation signals to the first and second pre-driver circuits is mounted to a control board on a center line. A distance between the center line and the first inverter circuit and a distance between the center line and the second inverter circuit is equal to each other. First and second output terminals of the micro-computer as well as first and second input and output terminals of the custom IC are symmetric with respect to the center line.
