Abstract

A motor drive device includes a single-phase inverter that converts a direct-current voltage output from a power supply which is a battery, into an alternating-current voltage. The inverter outputs the alternating-current voltage as an applied voltage to be applied to a motor. The applied voltage is lower when the direct-current voltage is a second voltage lower than a first voltage than when the direct-current voltage is the first voltage. Consequently, a discharge current of the battery is reduced, and the motor drive device capable of reducing an increase in battery temperature can be obtained.
