There is almost no change.
- the detection unit 12 detects the combined resistance values of the temperature sensors 11-1 and 11-2, and the determination unit 13 executes the failure determination process based on the combined resistance values detected by the detection unit 12. As described with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4, when the temperature sensors 11-1 and 11-2 are composed of PTC thermistors, the first threshold value R th1 is normal for all switches 21-1 and 21-2.
- the determination unit 13 Since the value is set to be larger than the combined resistance value in a certain case, the determination unit 13 does not determine that the combined resistance value detected by the detection unit 12 exceeds the first threshold value R th1 , and therefore an open failure occurs. Is not determined.
- the second threshold value R th2 As described with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6, when the temperature sensors 11-1 and 11-2 are composed of NTC thermistors, the second threshold value R th2 is normal for all switches 21-1 and 21-2. Since the value is set to be smaller than the combined resistance value in a certain case, the determination unit 13 does not determine that the combined resistance value detected by the detection unit 12 is below the second threshold value R th2 , and therefore an open failure occurs. Is not determined.
- the host controller (not shown) outputs a close command to switches 21-1 and 21-2.
- the determination unit 13 has a second threshold value of the combined resistance value detected by the detection unit 12. It is not determined that the temperature is below R th2, and therefore it is not determined that an open failure has occurred.
- the determination unit 13 has a second threshold value of the combined resistance value detected by the detection unit 12. It is determined that the temperature is lower than R th2, and therefore it is determined that an open failure has occurred.
- the failure detection device 1 can detect that an open failure has occurred in at least one of the precharging circuits 5 having a plurality of switches 21-1 and 21-2 driven in parallel.
- the failure determination result by the determination unit 13 in the failure detection device 1 may be displayed on the display unit, for example, or may be output by an audio device that emits a sound such as a voice, a speaker, a buzzer, or a chime. good. Further, based on the failure determination result by the determination unit 13 in the failure detection device 1, the motor drive device 100 may be stopped urgently, or the machine provided with the motor drive device 100 may be made to perform an abnormality avoidance operation. ..
- the failure detection device 1 is not limited to the precharging circuit 5 as described above, and can detect the occurrence of an open failure in a circuit having a plurality of switches driven in parallel.
- the electromagnetic contactor 6 when the AC power supply 200 has three phases as shown in FIG. 9, the electromagnetic contactor 6 also has contact circuits for three phases correspondingly, and these contact circuits are driven in parallel.

- the dynamic brake circuit includes a relay provided between the input terminals of the motor 300 and a dynamic brake resistor connected in series with the relay.
- the dynamic brake When applying the dynamic brake, the supply of drive power to the motor 300 is cut off, and then the relay is closed to short-circuit between the input terminals of the motor 300 (between the phases of the motor windings). Even if the motor 300 is electrically disconnected from the power supply, a field magnetic flux exists, and the motor 300 rotating due to coasting acts as a generator, so that the current generated by this acts as a dynamic brake via a closed relay. It flows into the resistor and a deceleration torque is generated in the motor 300.
- a switch in the dynamic brake circuit is provided by providing temperature sensors in the vicinity of each of the relays in the dynamic brake circuit, electrically connecting these temperature sensors in series with each other, and further configuring the detection unit 12 and the determination unit 13 described above.
