● The following describes the operations of each circuit in detail.
(1) Peak current cut off circuit
Fig.8-3 Peak Current Cut off Circuit and Waveforms at Each Section.
● The Ip cut off circuit detects an instantaneous excessive current and stops inverter to protect parts such
as SPM2, etc.
● As shown in diagram, if current exceeding 21A flows, voltage at point recognized by detecting resistor
is input to pin of SPM2 – HIC, and voltage divided by R41 and R43 is input to pin of IC1. Since
threshold of IC1 is exceeded in this case, Lo signal is input from pin (Voltage at point . When Lo
signal is input to pin of microcomputer, microcomputer stops drive output.
● When drive output from microcomputer is stopped, all drive output goes Hi, and microcomputer is initialized
to enter drive signal standby mode. 3 minutes later, microcomputer outputs drive signal again, to start
operation.
