Abstract

A motor control device includes an inverter configured by a plurality of arms, a smoothing unit supplying a direct-current voltage to the inverter, a shunt resistor inserted between a lower-arm switching element for each phase of the inverter and a negative-electrode side of the smoothing unit, a master motor current sensor outputting a voltage according to a current flowing in a first motor connected in parallel to the inverter, and a computing unit generating driving signals for a plurality of switching elements based on an output of the master motor current sensor and an output corresponding to a voltage drop on the shunt resistor.
