Abstract

A sensorless motor control device includes a magnetic pole position estimating unit that does not use a sensor to detect a magnetic pole position of a motor having a salient rotor, and overlays a high-frequency current on the motor to estimate the magnetic pole position of the rotor of the motor; and a high-frequency current control unit for changing a magnitude of the high-frequency current based on a magnitude of one of a torque and a current of the motor.
