Abstract

A motor drive device capable of switching the connection configuration of the stator windings of a motor includes three relays each including a first contact, a second contact, and a contact plate, where the contact plate has one terminal coupled to a stator winding of one phase among the stator windings and the contact plate has another terminal to be connected to the first contact or to the second contact; and a control unit to control the three relays to cause all the three relays to have a same connection state in a case in which not all the three relays have a same connection state with respect to connections between the another terminal of the contact plate and the first contact and the second contact.
