Abstract

An electric-motor driving apparatus according to the present invention is the electric-motor driving apparatus that drives an electric motor having a winding structure in which a first multi-phase winding and a second multi-phase winding are wound and includes a first DC/AC converter connected to the first multi-phase winding and applying a multi-phase alternating-current voltage to the electric motor, a second DC/AC converter connected to the second multi-phase winding and applying a multi-phase alternating-current voltage to the electric motor, a first three-phase switching unit to perform connecting and disconnecting between phases of the first multi-phase winding, a second three-phase switching unit to perform connecting and disconnecting between phases of the second multi-phase winding, and a winding switching unit to perform connecting and disconnecting between the first multi-phase winding and the second multi-phase winding.
