Abstract

A motor control apparatus according to the embodiment includes a rotational position estimating unit, a change amount estimating unit, and an inductance estimating unit. The rotational position estimating unit estimates a rotational position of a rotor from a motor parameter including a q-axis inductance of a motor on a basis of an output current to the motor and a voltage reference. The change amount estimating unit estimates a change amount of an output torque with respect to a current phase change of the motor corresponding to a high frequency signal whose frequency is higher than a drive frequency of the motor. The inductance estimating unit estimates an inductance value that obtains a maximum torque on a basis of the change amount as the q-axis inductance.
