Abstract

A motor control device includes a controller to control a three-phase current by feeding back a control current value obtained based on the three-phase current. The controller is configured or programmed to execute first feedback control of feeding back any one of a first control current value calculated based on a second phase current and the third phase current, a second control current value calculated based on the third phase current and a first phase current, and a third control current value calculated based on the first phase current and the second phase current as a control current value and second feedback control in which the first control current value, the second control current value, and the third control current value are switched and fed back as the control current value.

4. The motor control device according to claim 1 , wherein the control current value is a dq-axis current value obtained by converting the three-phase current into two axes corresponding to a d-axis and a q-axis orthogonal to the d-axis.

5. The motor control device according to claim 1 , wherein in the second feedback control, the controller is configured or programmed to correct the control current value based on a difference between the first control current value, the second control current value, and the third control current value.

6. The motor control device according to claim 5 , wherein the controller is configured or programmed to calculate the first control current value, the second control current value, and the third control current value during execution of the first feedback control, and acquires the difference.
