Abstract
A motor driving device that is a device for driving a motor including stator windings, includes: a connection switching unit that includes relays as mechanical switches connected to the stator windings and excitation coils opening or closing the relays by being energized or non-energized with excitation current and switches connection condition of the stator windings to either of first connection condition (star connection) and second connection condition (delta connection) different from the first connection condition by opening or closing the relays; and an inverter that supplies AC drive voltages to the stator windings.
