Abstract
A controller for a three-phase AC motor includes a current sensor and a current estimation section. The current sensor detects current flowing through one phase of the motor. The one phase is defined as a sensor phase. The current estimation section calculates a current phase relative to an axis of the sensor phase based on α-axis current and β-axis current in a stationary coordinate system defined by a α-axis parallel to the sensor phase axis and a β-phase perpendicular to the sensor phase axis. The current estimation section estimates current flowing through another phase of the motor based on the current phase and the detected current. The current estimation section calculates the α-axis current based on the detected current. The current estimation section calculates the β-axis current based on the detected current and a command value for the current flowing through the other phase of the motor.
