Abstract

An oil-pump motor drive apparatus includes a current detection unit for detecting each of multi-phase currents flowing through coils of a stator, a control unit for converting the detected multi-phase currents into a d-axis current Id and a q-axis current Iq, calculating a phase error between an actual rotational position of the rotor and an imaginary rotational position by comparing the d-axis current Id with a d-axis current command value Idref and comparing the q-axis current Iq with the d-axis current command value Idref, performing control so that the phase error gets closer to zero, and outputting voltage command values indicating voltages to be applied to respective phases of the brushless motor, to a motor drive circuit, in which the control unit sets the d-axis current command value Idref to a value larger than zero when the number of revolutions of the motor is smaller than a predetermined number.
