Abstract :
In this report, energy saving characteristics of a main circuit system having the inverter which applied SiC elements and Motor whose v/f is reduced were reported. As a main circuit system, an effective way of energy saving was examined, and evaluated. It was also put on the experimental vehicle, E995, and the electricity reduction effect against the existing system was evaluated.
