Title:
ELECTRIC CAR CONTROL APPARATUS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2007/122671
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
An electric car control apparatus comprises a smoothing capacitor that is charged from a DC power supply via a charging resistor; an inverter that converts the DC power charged in the smoothing capacitor to an AC power and supplies the AC power to a load; and a discharging switch that causes the voltage charged in the smoothing capacitor to be discharged via a discharging resistor. In the electric car control apparatus, the same resistor is used as the charging and discharging resistors, thereby simplifying the circuit arrangement. The electric car control apparatus includes a main switch, which is inserted in a main circuit to which the DC power is supplied by the DC power supply, and an auxiliary switch that is connected in parallel to the discharging switch and performs the opposite opening/closing operations to the main switch.
