Abstract

See full text

A motor control device includes an inverter circuit having switching elements on/off controlled according to a predetermined PWM signal pattern to convert an input direct current to three-phase alternating current supplied to drive an electric motor. A phase current of the motor is detected based on a detection of the input direct current and the PWM signal pattern. A PWM signal generation unit which generates a three-phase PWM signal pattern to enable detecting two-phase currents twice in synchronization with four time-points within a carrier wave period of the PWM signal respectively and so that a detection of current follows a magnetic pole position of the motor. A current differential unit supplies, as current differential values, differences between twice detected current values regarding the two phases respectively, and a magnetic pole position estimation unit estimates the magnetic pole position of the motor based on the current differential values.
