Abstract
A motor inverter is provided with switching elements for each phase of a 3-phase motor, and driving the motor by turning on and off the switching elements. In an example of a control device of the motor inverter, the control device includes: a stationary phase determination unit for defining a phase in a plurality of phases provided with switching elements for each area as a stationary phase in which a switching operation is not performed, based on current command value of each phase acquired from d-axis current command value and q-axis current command value of the motor, with one rotation in electrical angle of a rotor of the motor divided into a plurality of areas; and a drive unit for performing the switching operation of switching elements of the phases other than the stationary phase determined for each area to perform, and realizing 2-phase modulation control.
