Abstract
An inverter system includes: an inverter configured to receive utility AC power and step it up to a high-voltage power necessary for operation of a motor and supply the high-voltage power to the motor; a switch connected between the inverter and the motor and configured to be turned on and off such that an output voltage from the inverter is supplied to the motor or interrupted; a current detector configured to detect an output current from the inverter; and a controller configured to control the inverter system so that the inverter is interrupted if an output current value detected by the current detector is smaller than a predetermined reference current value for more than a predetermined reference duration.
Claims7
An inverter system comprising:
- an inverter configured to receive utility AC power and step it up to a high-voltage power for operation of a motor and to supply the high-voltage power to the motor;
- a switch connected between the inverter and the motor and configured to be turned on and off such that an output voltage from the inverter is supplied to the motor or interrupted;
- a current detector configured to detect an output current from the inverter;
- and
- a controller configured to control the inverter system so that the inverter is interrupted if an output current value detected by the current detector is smaller than a predetermined reference current value for more than a predetermined reference duration,
- wherein after the inverter is interrupted, the controller is configured to resume the inverter if the switch is turned on.

- a switch connected between the inverter and the motor and configured to be turned on and off such that an output voltage from the inverter is supplied to the motor or interrupted;
- a current detector configured to detect an output current from the inverter;
- a controller configured to control the inverter system so that the inverter is interrupted if an output current value detected by the current detector is smaller than a predetermined reference current value for more than a predetermined reference duration;
- and
- an alarm configured to warn a user visually or audibly when it receives an alarm signal from the controller, wherein the controller controls the inverter system so that an alarm signal is issued when the inverter is interrupted.
