Abstract

An object is to provide a specific achievement means for achieving reliable failure determination in a control system in a motor control device.The motor control device includes motor drive means for supplying a motor current to a motor; motor current detection means for detecting the motor current; and a controller to which a motor current detection value from the motor current detection means is input, and which outputs a drive signal to the motor drive means, in which the controller includes voltage control means for controlling a voltage applied to the motor; power supply voltage detection means; means for limiting the maximum value (%) of a drive duty ratio in a PWM circuit to a smaller value, upon determining power supply voltage drop; and failure determination means for determining a failure in a case of an abnormal motor current value.
