Abstract
A motor control apparatus includes an inverter comprising switching elements, current detection means for detecting a phase current value, conversion means for converting the phase current value into a digital AD conversion value, and current control means for controlling a three-phase AC motor by switching the switching elements using a current command value based on the AD conversion value. When the conversion means determines that an amplitude of the current command value is greater than or equal to a threshold, it acquires the phase current value at timings of at least one of t=τ/8, 3τ/8 and t=5τ/8, 7τ/8 converts the acquired phase current value into the AD conversion value. When the conversion means determines that the amplitude of the current command value is smaller than the threshold, it acquires the phase current value at a timing of t=τ/2, converts the acquired phase current value into the AD conversion value.
