Abstract

An electric motor control apparatus that alternately switches modulation mode between an asynchronous PWM control, which controls an electric motor by fixing a PWM frequency, and a synchronous PWM control, which controls the electric motor by making the PWM frequency proportional to a drive frequency of the electric motor, wherein when switching the modulation mode, a compensation value is calculated based on a state quantity, which correlates with a component in a rotating coordinate system of a voltage applied to the electric motor and is obtained immediately before switching, and the voltage immediately after switching is compensated for by the compensation value.
