Abstract
When a forced commutation mode ends, a switchover to a sensorless control mode is made. The sensorless control mode immediately after the switchover to the sensorless control mode is executed with a power source current maximum value set at a value higher than a rated current value of a motor. The sensorless control mode immediately after the switchover is executed only over a predetermined period of time, and, after a lapse of the predetermined period of time, a steady sensorless control mode is executed. In the steady sensorless control mode, the power source current maximum value is set at a value equal to the rated current value of the motor.
