Abstract
A characteristic selection/current upper limit value calculation sectionselects a cranking upper limit characteristic map MPin the case where a cranking state is detected by a cranking state supposition sectionand selects a non-cranking upper limit characteristic map MPin the case where the cranking state is not detected. Upper limit limitation on a current caused to pass through a motoris relaxed in a cranking upper limit characteristic as compared with a non-cranking upper limit characteristic. Consequently, it is possible to prevent excessive current limitation during cranking.
