Hitachi RAS-25CNH1 - Switching Order of Power Module; Voltage Waveform at each Point

– 68 –
● DC 230V is input to power module and 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 3.2kHz 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;
