● DC 260-360V is input to system power module and system power module switches power supply current
according to rotation position of magnet rotor. The switching order is as shown in Fig. 3-2.

● Upper arm transistor is controlled to ON/OFF by 3.3kHz chopper signal. Rotation speed of the compress
is proportional to duty ratio (ON time/ ON time + OFF time) of this chopper signal.
● Time T in Fig. 3-2 shows the switching period, and relation with rotation speed (N) of the compressor is
shown by formula below;

N = 60/2 X 1/T
● Fig. 3-3 shows voltage waveform at each point shown in Figs. 3-1 and 3-4. First half of upper arm is
chopper, second half is ON, and first half of lower arm is chopper, second half is ON.
