In this paper a new control method is described. This method prevents general-purpose inverters without current regulators from tripping easily, i.e., to be tripless no matter how their load is varied, and enables motors to rotate stably at high frequencies. This control is performed using only current sensors and is a combination of PWM control and torque control. This approach for PWM control changes an asynchronized mode to a synchronized mode when the modulation ratio becomes more than one. This enables the carrier wave frequency to be continuously varied with the inverter frequency. As a result, motors can rotate stably over a wide frequency range. The torque control uses a real and reactive component detector, magnetic flux compensator, slip compensator, and current limit controller.
