Abstract

An object of the present invention is to provide a motor control device that can suppress electromagnetic noises including a switching noise and to an electric vehicle system using the motor control device. A motor control device includes: a power converter that is controlled by a pulse width modulation signal; a motor that is driven by the power converter; and a controller that generates the pulse width modulation signal, based on a carrier signal. When switching between a first carrier frequency (fc1) of the carrier signal and a second carrier frequency (fc2) of the carrier signal, the controller varies proportions of the first carrier frequency and the second carrier frequency in accordance with a number of rotations of the motor, the second carrier frequency being higher than the first carrier frequency.
