• IPM drive circuit
The inverter driving device (IGBT) and the drive circuit are built in the IPM. The IPM receives the
signal from the microcomputer and convert it to 0 – 15 V signal to drive the IGBT.
When the unit operates at low speed, a chopper signal is emitted from the micro computer as shown
in Fig. 4-6. (0 to 5 V)
The signal is converted to 0 – 15 V at inside the IPM and transmitted to the gate of the transistor
(IGBT) in each phase to drive the IGBT.
When abnormal peak current was detected while the inverter is driving, the IPM outputs the Fail
In this step, the Q501 is turned on and the input signal of the upper arm is also shut off through the
D501 and D502, so that all signals to the IGBT are shut off. This signal is also distributed to
two time.
