Abstract

A controller of a rotating electric machine performs a control on a control amount of the rotating electric machine by (a) calculating a voltage instruction value for controlling the control amount based on voltage detection values of the shunt resistors when shunt resistors in at least two phases have an electric current flowing therein, and (b) performing a drive control of each of switches in an inverter based on the calculated voltage instruction value. The controller determines whether a phase current flowing in a winding is detectable in at least two of three phases based on voltage values of the shunt resistors, and, when determining that the phase current is not detectable in the at least two phases, the controller performs the drive control based on a past current value or a past voltage value in a two-phase rotating coordinate system of the rotating electric machine.
