Abstract
A monitoring device for an electric vehicle to monitor a blower for cooling a device installed in an electric vehicle includes: a dq-component separation unit that separates an instantaneous value of a motor current that flows to a motor of the blower into a d-axis current component and a q-axis current component; a mechanical-angle rotation-frequency component extraction unit that extracts a mechanical-angle rotation frequency component from an instantaneous value of the q-axis current component, the mechanical-angle rotation frequency component being a rotation frequency component where a rotation angle of the motor is expressed in a mechanical angle; and an abnormality determination unit that determines whether or not the blower is abnormal on the basis of magnitude of the mechanical-angle rotation frequency component.
