Abstract
A brushless motor apparatus includes a motor section including delta-connected three-phase coils; a switching section electrically connected to the motor section via a line; and a driving section for controlling an ON state and an OFF state of the switching section so as to drive the motor section. In the brushless motor apparatus, r1+r2<2R, where r1 is an internal resistance of the switching section in an ON state, r2 is a resistance of the line connecting the motor section and the switching section, and R is a direct current resistance of each of the three-phase coils.
