Abstract

A motor control device includes: an inverter circuit configured to convert a direct-current voltage into an alternating-current voltage, and to supply the alternating-current voltage to a plurality of motors connected in parallel; current detectors configured to detect motor currents flowing through the respective motors; a relay provided between at least one of the plurality of motors and the inverter circuit; and a controller configured to change the number of motors to be driven. When one of two or more motors under driving is stopped, the controller lowers a current instruction value to the two or more motors under driving. When a monitor current that is the motor current detected by the current detector of the motor connected to the relay is decreased, the controller switches the relay from an on state to an off state.
