In recent years, the fuel consumption improvement of automobiles is indispensable due to the global move to reduce CO₂ emissions. Downsizing of engines by turbocharger obtains the output equal to a large engine, and improves the fuel consumption. However, turbocharger has the response delay called turbo lag. In order to improve a transient response, we developed a high-speed motor. The electric supercharger consists of high-speed motor and compressor, and drives compressor by high-speed motor instead of an exhaust gas turbine. By combining conventional turbocharger and electric supercharger, we developed two-stage turbocharger system. In this paper, we explained development of high-speed motor and inverter. And, as application example, we explained electric two-stage turbocharger system. The high-speed motor and inverter are connected without harness, and assembled in one single unit. The motor is driven at high efficiency by vector control.
