To detect U phase, voltage at point
C
is produced by driving motor induced voltage signal (voltage at point
A
) and
1/2 voltage of Vd (voltage at point
B
), and comparing with comparator.
For V phase and W phase, voltage at point
D
and voltage at point
E
are produced in the same way as above. Voltage
at point
C
is taken into indoor unit microcomputer, switching timing to U
+
transistor from W
+
transistor is produced by
delaying 30
from rise waveform, ignoring spike voltage. In addition, switching timing to U-transistor from W-transistor is
produced by delaying 30
from fall waveform.
For V phase and W phase, in the same way as above, drive signals are produced from voltages at point
D
and point
E
. Phases are shifted by 120
°
and 240 , respectively, comparing with U phase.
