Abstract
A motor control apparatus includes: a booster circuit electrically connected to a battery; and an inverter electrically connected to the booster circuit at one end and electrically connected to a motor at another end. The motor control apparatus is provided with a controller configured to control the inverter to output square wave voltage to the motor, thereby driving the motor. The controller is configured to control the inverter to temporarily invert voltage polarity associated with the square wave voltage, on the basis of a phase difference between a voltage command associated with the motor and an electric current associated with the motor, on condition that an operating point of the motor is in a resonance region, which is an operation area in which resonance is generated in the booster circuit.
