Motor drive device attached to a vehicle with a power
machine (1) and a motor (2050) directly coupled to each other, wherein the vehicle comprises a DC power supply device (2002) configured to supply an
electric current to the motor (2050) and charged by an output of the motor (2050), wherein the
motor drive device comprises: an
inverter (2030) configured to convert an electric
DC current supplied by the DC power supply device (2002) into an electric
AC current, and to convert an electric
AC current received from the motor (2050) into an electric
DC current;and a control device (2001) configured to control the
inverter (2030), wherein the motor (2050) and the
inverter (2030) configured to drive the motor (2050) each comprise a first group with a U-phase, a V-phase and a W-phase and a second group with an X-phase, a Y-phase and a Z-phase; wherein the control device (2001) comprises: a fault detection unit configured to determine whether at least the inverter (2030) and / or the DC power supply device (2002) has a fault, in order to determine whether or not current flow from the motor (2050) to the DC power supply device (2002) is blocked;a DC supply state determination unit configured to determine whether or not the DC supply device (2002) is fully charged, in order to determine whether or not current flow from the motor (2050) to the DC supply device (2002) is blocked;and a switching unit configured to select, when determined by the fault detection unit and the DC supply state determination unit that the current flow from the motor (2050) to the DC supply device (2002) is blocked, a control operation performed in the inverter (2030) from an all-phase shutdown and a three-phase
short circuit based on a motor rotation speed of the motor (2050), an
induced voltage of the motor (2050) and a DC linkage
voltage of the motor (2050), wherein in the all-phase shutdown all switching elements (3) of the inverter (2030) are open;and wherein the control device further comprises a three-phase short-circuit
processing unit configured to perform control such that, when a reduction amount of the three-phase short-circuit torque is equal to or greater than a threshold value 4 while the inverter (2030) is performing the three-phase
short circuit, one of the first group and the second group performs power operation and another of the first group and the second group performs
recovery in order to achieve a rise and a fall of the
DC current from zero.
