Abstract
A motor control device includes: a power converter to which a first motor and a second motor are connected in parallel, the power converter being configured to convert a direct-current voltage into an alternating-current voltage and supply the alternating-current voltage to the first motor and the second motor; a switching unit provided between the second motor and the power converter; a current detector configured to detect an electric current flowing through the first motor and the second motor; and a controller configured to control the power converter based on at least a current value detected by the current detector. The controller deactivates the power converter upon receiving from outside an abnormal step signal, attributed to the occurrence of an abnormality, that excludes a normal stop signal representing a stop command and switches the switching unit from an on state to an off state upon deactivation of the power converter.
