Abstract

An inverter system failure is detected on the basis of the currents of respective phases detected by a current detection unit when carrying out switching control in accordance with a first drive mode in which all switching elements on a lower-side arm are switched on and all switching elements on an upper-side arm are switched off, and the currents of respective phases detected by the current detection unit when carrying out switching control in accordance with a second drive mode in which all of the switching elements on the upper-side arm are switched on and all of the switching elements on the lower-side arm are switched off.
