20090160380 | Motor Drive Device and Control Method Thereof - A torque command (Tht) used in the calculation of a voltage command (Vht) of a voltage-up converter is generated by adding an upper limit value value (Tc_max) of damping control that can be set by a motor drive device with a target drive torque (Tbt).
