Abstract

An estimation device includes a phase current determination unit, a time difference calculation unit, and an estimation unit. The phase current determination unit performs a determination process for determining values of phase currents based on the value of the bus current detected by a bus current detection unit and states of gate pulse signals. The time difference calculation unit calculates a difference between a detection time of the bus current used in a previous determination process and a detection time of the bus current used in a present determination process. The estimation unit estimates at least one of a position and a speed of an AC motor based on the values of the phase currents determined by the phase current determination unit and the difference calculated by the time difference calculation unit.
