Abstract

To provide an abnormality detection apparatus for resolver which can determine the abnormality of at least the first system, even if the period of the excitation AC voltage of the first system and the period of the excitation AC voltage of the second system are different periods, and the magnetic interference between systems occurs. An abnormality detection apparatus for resolver applies an AC voltage of a first period to a first system excitation winding; applies an AC voltage of a second period different from the first period to a second system excitation winding; calculates a first system square sum which is a sum of square values of the detection values of output signals of first system two output windings after the second period component reduction processing: and determines abnormality of first system based on whether or not the first system square sum is within a normal range of first system.
