Abstract

To appropriately limit a current output from an inverter to a motor according to a state of a cooling mechanism that cools the motor and the inverter. A motor control unit includes a current command unit configured to calculate current command values (Id*, Iq*) for determining a current to be output to a motor on the basis of an input torque command, a motor lock determination unit configured to determine whether the motor is in a locked state on the basis of a motor rotation speed Nrpm indicating a rotation state of the motor, and a torque command limitation unit configured to limit the current to be output to the motor by limiting the torque command on the basis of a cooling water temperature Tc indicating a state of the cooling mechanism in a case where the motor lock determination unit determines that the motor is in the locked state.
