Abstract
Abstract A resistor is provided in parallel with the capacitor of a phase compensating circuit in order that a rapid transition may be made to a steady velocity state when a motor is started, a target velocity (reference velocity) is changed, or a large fluctuation in load occurs. When the steady velocity state does not prevail, the capacitor is isolated from the circuit and the resistor is connected into the circuit in its place.
