Abstract
Switching elements are driven by a control signal outputted from a control circuit, so that a rotating magnetic field is generated from a stator coil to rotate a rotor of a synchronous electric motor. The control signal is generated through use of a selected modulation scheme, which is selected from a plurality of modulation schemes. The control circuit determines which one of the modulation schemes is used as the selected modulation scheme based on a sensed voltage value of a voltage sensor, which senses an output voltage of a power supply device.
