Abstract
A motor drive device includes: a converter; a power supply; a plurality of inverter units configured to convert DC to AC to drive a plurality of motors by upper arm switching elements connected between a capacitor and motor coils and lower arm switching elements connected between the capacitor and motor coils; a second switch configured to connect the capacitor to the earth; a current detector configured to measure current flowing between the capacitor and the earth; a voltage detector configured to measure the voltage across the capacitor; and, an insulation resistance detector configured to detect insulation resistance of the multiple motors based on the current and voltage measured in a condition that the switching element to which the motor coil to be measured is connected is turned on and the switching elements to which a motor coil other than the target for measurement is connected are turned off.
