Abstract
An estimation section calculates estimated currents corresponding to switching modes, which are provisionally set by a mode setting section. A mode determination section determines one of modes, which has a smallest difference between the estimated currents and command currents, to be a final switching mode. A drive section drives an inverter in the switching mode determined by the determination section. The estimation section uses transient-state inductances as coefficients of time differentiation of currents in voltage equations used for estimation of the estimated currents. These are different from steady-state inductances, which are coefficients of multiplication of currents and electric angular velocity.
